The magic property to change is called 'padding'. Search the mailing 
list archives
for "fingering padding" to see some examples of how to do it.

If you want 5 notes to have the duration of 4, you should multiply them by
4/5, not 5/4. This will give you the '5'. If you don't want the number 
at all,
read the section in the reference manual on tuplets and follow the link
"TupletBracket" to
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/TupletBracket.html
In the list of properties, you'll find one called| "number-visibility" 
which you can set
using
\property Score.TupletBracket \override #'number-visibility = ##f

An alternative is to turn off both brackets and numbers using the
translator property "||tupletInvisible|":
|
\property Score.||tupletInvisible| = ##t
