Terminal and sys pref

Hello! This is my first post and first time visit and it's nice to be here. I had a question in regards to the terminal and system preferences on the Mac. How do I change the system preferences options through the terminal on a Mac? Is this possible.

Thank you in advance

Sure it's possible, but you'll have to do some digging for where these items are stored within the preferences structure (some are at a base level so.. /Library and others are under ~/Library) Plus the commands, which I'd give you an example, but I'm not on a mac at the moment so I can't just take a quick look at some of my scripts.
