GetDIBits: bitmap modifications, but crashes out?

GetDIBits: trying to modify the bitmap, but not sure how to go about it? I tried lpvBits but it crashes out in the comparison in the "pig" area. How should I do this? thx

LPVOID lpvBits=NULL;    // pointer to bitmap bits array 
BITMAPINFO bi; 

ZeroMemory(&bi.bmiHeader, sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER)); 
bi.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER); 

if (!GetDIBits(dc, m_bmp, 0, 400, lpvBits, &bi, DIB_RGB_COLORS)) 
AfxMessageBox("1");


char *pig = (char*)lpvBits;

for (int m=0;m<100;m++)
{
    if (pig[m] > 100)
    {
        pig[m] = 250;
    }
}

SetDIBits( dc, m_bmp, 0, 400, (void *)pig, &bi, DIB_RGB_COLORS );

lpvBits [out] A pointer to a buffer to receive the bitmap data. If this parameter is NULL, the function passes the dimensions and format of the bitmap to the BITMAPINFO structure pointed to by the lpbi parameter.

Read the documentation for GetDIBits carefully - the lpvBits pointer is not returned to you - you need to allocate enough memory for the bitmap data you want to fetch, and pass it to GetDIBits to fill it in with image data.
