I'm not sure I understand what do you mean by ``change the mouse
speed''.  There's function 13h of Interrupt 33h that defines the
double-speed threshold: if that speed is exceeded, the mouse pointer
on screen doubles its speed.  Then, there's function 0Fh that sets the
speed as mickey-to-pixel ratio.  There's also function 1Ah that can
set both.  Finally, there's function 2Ch that sets the so-called
``mouse acceleration profile'' and function 2Dh that selects a profile.

Yes, you can, but then the mouse pointer will conceal the character
that's under it.  Use function 0Ah of Interrupt 33h to do this.
