[PD] configuration from within a patch

[Billy King]

Hello list
Is there a way to change various configuration aspects (usually available from the menus) from inside a patch?
For example, if I want to change the patch's sample rate, number of inputs, or the input/output device from patch in real time (using message boxes or something)
Many thanks
Billy
