Hi,
I'd like to ask if is possible to change style or color of surface-made-light.

Style, no. Color, yes, but it's hacky (you have to change the .wal texture used by bsp so the average colour is the colour you want the light to be)

Ok thanks.. so it's like when I make a new texture (in .jpg) and more than 50% will have green color then the light will have green color too?

No, only the .wal for bsp has to be changed. Your actual texture stays the same. The compiler or something reads the actual colours of the .wals in bsp and gives off light of that colour.
