There is next to nothing you can do. The tape has to be recorded with better hardware to begin with (either better tape player or better sound card or both. You at least need more than an onboard sound card really).

When it comes to analogue sound; it is exactly that. Analogous the to the equipment used. With digital technology, no matter how much you spend, there is a certain standard in quality but when it comes to analogue sound the quality is entirely dependant on the equipment being used and in this case the equipment recording the equipment being used. Since it's the sound cards job to convert the analogue signal to digital, the quality of the recording is going to depend entirely on the quality of that conversion. So, a poor sound card won't convert the signal very accurately and it will sound crap. Likewise, the signal going into the sound card to begin with is also important, it needs to be of a good standard and it needs to be more than loud enough. The better the sound card, the closer the recording will be to how you hear it straight from the source.
Anyway, any pro-level sound card will do (they cost as little as 50 pounds), one of the M-Audio sound cards for example. A signal recorded direct from your mixer into the sound card that way should be far more than acceptible. This assuming you have a mixing set up.
