Hi,
I suppose you are talking about the WebClient UI and not the SAPGUI.
For the first question: I do not know how to modify the status bar, but if adding a message to the message area (were all other CRM related information messages are shown) is enough you can use the global message container.
    lr_msg_service = cl_bsp_wd_message_service=>get_instance( ).
    MESSAGE e<<msg_number>> INTO lv_msg WITH lv_msg_v1.
    CALL METHOD lr_msg_service->add_message
      EXPORTING
        iv_msg_type   = sy-msgty
        iv_msg_id     = sy-msgid
        iv_msg_number = sy-msgno
        iv_msg_v1     = sy-msgv1.
Changing values of UI fields you got two options:
1. You modify the UI components code to change the field value over the GET/SET methods on some kind of event
2. You modify the underlying data in the BOL object.
Checking is done by simply adding a 'X' to the variable representing the checkbox.
