if vc++ makes 32bit code, then changing screen modes in pmode would be possible

You've got to program the VGA hardware directly. The Tauron VGA utilities are a
good source of information: search for "Tauron VGA" and you should get some
results.
BTW: since you are writing a 32-bit protected mode OS, you will have to do this
for all hardware, since you cannot use the BIOS for anything (unless you write
a V86 mode monitor).
