There is an application to modify a xterm on the flight, 'xtermcontrol',
which supports:
$ xtermcontrol --help
Options:
--fg=COLOR set foreground color
--bg=COLOR set background color
--colorN=COLOR set N'th [0-15] color
--highlight=COLOR set highlight color
--cursor=COLOR set cursor color
--mouse-fg=COLOR set mouse pointer foreground color
--mouse-bg=COLOR set mouse pointer background color
--font=FONT set font
--title=STRING set window title
--geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF set size and/or position
--get-fg report foreground color
--get-bg report background color
--get-colorN report N'th [0-15] color
--get-highlight report highlight color
--get-cursor report cursor color
--get-mouse-fg report mouse pointer foreground

--file=FILE alternative configuration file
--force, -f skip TERM check

I poked around a bit and it seems to work with just sending
ESC-sequences to STDOUT. One could dig into its source and check for
more details.
