There is some information on how to edit GPO Registry settings available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa374274(v=VS.85).aspx

There is also a good blog post here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dsadsi/archive/2009/07/23/working-with-group-policy-objects-programmatically-simple-c-example-illustrating-how-to-modify-a-registry-based-policy.aspx
