SQL-Server-2005

I have added SQL Server express edition as a prerequisite so it automatically installs on computer.
But at the time of installing it set SQL authentication mode as windows and TCP/IP settings as disabled.

Now suggest me how do i change the above settings programatically after SQL installed on computer.
