While it's not conform with the concept of the windows concept, where a single application seldom rules over the screen, it's possible and needed in special cases like a kiosk mode etc. But even in that case you could set it as default screen resolution.
See Faq#7902 for reasons why not to do it and an alternative way of giving the user the chance to adjust the sreen settings themselves.
It's a WinAPI call ChangeDisplaySettings. It's a bit more complex than just setting the resolution. Sometimes a restart is needed, which is indicated by a return value of ChangeDisplaySettings and it's also recommended to inform all other application windows of the resolution change with SendMessage. Mike Gagnon has posted a very complete way of changing resolution here:
