I am glad to say that I am able to write the code which can set all four keys releated to PAC file URL. As suggested, I used System Configuration framework. But I think System Configuartion framework (& scutil command) only accesses the dynamic store. I went through PDFs but not found useful info to change persistant store. System preferences values are kept in persitant store by Preferences monitor & on file-system, its location is "/Library/Preferences/System Configuration/preferences.plist". But whatever I tried with the APIs & with scutil command, those changes never get reflected in preferences.plist & hence System Preferences also shows old entries.
One more drawback is these APIs are used to change values in dynamic store & on reboot, dynamic store always gets recreated which flush my changes. Can anybody suggest how can I change persistant store & thereby System Preferences programmatically.
