What is the Windows' Call to Change an Attribute of a File Programmatically?

Question

I just learnt a Windows call to get Volume Information of a Hard Disk. For example, if we use DECLARE INTEGER GetVolumeInformation IN win32api STRING @,STRING @,INTEGER ,STRING @,STRING @,STRING @,STRING @,INTEGER and then give the command GetVolumeInformation(@root,@volname,100,@volserno,@maxcomlen,@filsysflag,@filsysname,144) then we can get to know Volume Information of a Hard Disk.

Now, I wish to know whether there is any Windows Command in WIN32 or elsewhere to change a File's Attribute. For example, I want to programmatically make a File on Hard Disk a Read Only File or change a Read Only File into a File that I can programmatically write on to (even if its original setting is "Read Only").

Which language are trying at? .NET has directly class libraries to do that. I am sure other language would have the same too.
