Depends on what you are using to program with.
Ask Google.
VESA modes are available if your PC has a VESA driver installed; this
could be in the gfx card BIOS or as a RAM-resident driver that you have
to load.
Ask Google.

Unless you're using a an older operating system that allows you to control
the hardware directly, like DOS, you would have no reason to use the VESA
BIOS, as most APIs indrectly do this for you already. Directly controlling
VESA requires some knowledge of the hardware, also, and requires a
programming language that can cause interrupts, like assembly language or
C/C++. It's a pain in the ass to say the least.
I don't know what you're trying to do, but if you want to make anything
with graphics you should check out a library for those purposes, like
DirectX for Windows, or perhaps even OpenGL.
