Your request is kind of vague, but give this quickie a try. Does not do nested items.

(defun _foo (c / s)
  (if (setq s (ssget ":L"))
    (foreach e (vl-remove-if 'listp (mapcar 'cadr (ssnamex s)))
      (entmod (append (entget e) (list (cons 62 c))))
    )
  )
  (princ)
)
(defun c:bl nil (_foo 256))
(defun c:bk nil (_foo 0))
(setq a 0)
;; Create c:b1 thru c:b255 for $h!+s :)
(repeat 255 (eval (read (strcat "(defun c:b" (itoa (setq a (1+ a))) " nil (_foo " (itoa a) "))"))))

(defun C:CBL () (COMMAND "CHANGE" PAUSE "" "P" "C" "BYLAYER" "")
(PROMPT "nCOLOR CHANGED TO BYLAYER."))
 

(defun C:LTBL () (COMMAND "CHANGE" PAUSE "" "P" "LT" "BYLAYER" "")
(PROMPT "nLINETYPE CHANGED TO BYLAYER."))
 

(defun C:PS ()       ;Pick entity to set layer
    (setvar "CMDECHO" 0)

    (setq EN (car (entsel "\nPick any entity to set the layer..: ")))
    (setq ED (entget EN))
    (setq LN (cdr (assoc 8 ED )))
    (command "LAYER" "S" LN "")
    (princ)
    )

Explain more guesses are being made. Have not transferred the crystal ball to my new laptop yet.

i want only  when i write bk or bl the state of color or layer change in byblock or bylayer and not select an object ...

[Tharwat]

What I use:

(defun c:bys nil
  (mapcar 'setvar '(CECOLOR CELTYPE CELWEIGHT) '("BYLAYER" "BYLAYER" -1))
  (vl-cmdf "_.regen")
  (princ)
  ) (vl-load-com)

As Tharwat eluded to:

(defun c:bl nil (setvar 'cecolor "ByLayer"))
(defun c:bk nil (setvar 'cecolor "ByBlock"))

That works

I'm confused.  

The code above does not do anything to existing objects. It changes the 'cecolor' variable so that new items added to the drawing will take on either bylayer or byblock properties depending on which you run.

SORRY can you even  make that do that?!

Already wrote that HERE. As stated before does not do nested items.

   i wrote my 2 lisp routines to change existing lines that people changed the color or line type but not the layer . it put them on the correct color or line type for the

  layer you want to use.

  I threw in pick set just for fun.  I use those lisp routines daily. It doesn't change everything globally
