Is it possible to change Write-Progress color scheme and other UI things, like progress bar?
Presently, its light green with a progress bar composed of "O"... And I want to change the color (or remove the color) and replace that "O" with something else.

The letter "o" is hardcoded within the class Microsoft.PowerShell.ProgressNode, in the method RenderFull. The class is in the Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost assembly.
If you really want to change the "o" you could write your own host. I have seen several questions about custom hosts on SO and MS has it documented on the MSDN website.

You can change the foreground and background colors of the Write-Progress
output by modifying the ProgressForegroundColor
and ProgressBackgroundColor
of the $host.privatedata
ConsoleColorProxy
object.
For example, if you really hate your eyes:
$host.privatedata.ProgressForegroundColor = "darkgreen";
$host.privatedata.ProgressBackgroundColor = "red";
