You cannot change them with guidance powermanager. You can either go with 
klaptop or kpowersave if you need this. 
I have added this request to specification for Feisty and this will be 
discussed next week in UDS MtView:

I know this may be problematic for power users, but this change was done to 
reduce confusion for not so experienced users - see also

Did you submit the bug for brightness problem? Is it maybe related to this:

This is probably the issue of kernel or ACPI implementation. You may want to 
play with changing the trigger points for the fans. And you should submit a 
bug as mailing list is not perfect location for bug handling.
