Hi,
  You can set any atom radius to anything you want using the 'atomselect'
text command in VMD (see the User's Guide for a full explanation):
  set sel [atomselect top "name CA"]
  $sel set radius 4.0

That's a simple example of how one can modify the radii for individual
atoms using selections.
