Bharat,

change the window style by using GetWindowLong and
SetWindowLong, and change the system menu by using GetSystemMenu.
I remember reading a lot of examples in the web, it is where
I got the code I am using (it is now too complex for publishing it.)
Check this site as a start:

BTW the title of your post is too ambiguos: better was using,
for example, 'how to disable buttons in form title bar'
