Is there any way to get and set settings of about:flags page in Chrome?

I am developing a Chrome extension and need to implement an API to change settings in Chrome.

I find all the settings in about:flags page, but I cannot find extension API to get or set.

No, there is not.

The options in chrome://flags are intended for Chrome developers, not for end users. Flags are typically not permanent, as they are used for features that are still under development and testing, or features which are only used for testing. Once testing is complete, the flag is removed.

In short: flags are not a stable interface. Extensions should not depend on features controlled by flags. If a feature your extension needs is only available through a flag, it is not ready for general use yet, and you should wait until that changes.
