Is there any way to access device settings programmatically?

If you app is System app then you Simply do this to enable/disable USB Debugging

Settings.Secure.putInt(getActivity().getContentResolver(),Settings.Secure.ADB_ENABLED, 1);

You also need root access to do this. I have rooted device and I just simply execute SU to enable/disable Usb Debugging.

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String [] { "su", "-c", "setprop", "persist.service.adb.enable", "0"});

proc.waitFor();

Process proc2 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String [] { "su", "-c", "stop", "adbd"});

proc2.waitFor();

Good thing is you don't need to place your application in (/system/priv-app/) Your simple app i.e. (/data/app) can do this.
