Usual questions, what have you tried, what have you found what errors do you have...

I'm not a noob.

I've looked on msdn but found nothing. Searching google, I've been able to determine how to get bitmaps from screen, and send bitmaps to the screen. This is not what I want. I need to get and set specific pixels' rgb values.

No you arent a noob, but you didnt post anything about what you had done so far.. Its a waste of everyones time and effort if we post things you've already done.

The problem with "setting a pixel" on the screen is the next redraw it will be gone.

You can read them,

The awsome Charles Petzold has details on that.
