If the car's software is not already designed to change the mood lighting according to its operating mode (eco, comfort, sport), you can't ADD that logic via "coding" the car.

You can change the data (parameters) used by the car's software by "coding", but you can't change the software itself.
I do not follow. By changing setting, you are modifying behavior.

Just because it is not behave a certain way from factory, does not mean it cannot be coded to as there are development options in software.
