OP had asked for a solution to change it through the command line
and as blowtorch said it shouldnt be possible either.
Good to have the alternative through the client, if not through the command line.

LWM(1) General Commands Manual LWM(1)
NAME
lwm - Lightweight Window Manager for the X Window System
SYNTAX
lwm [ -s session-id ]
DESCRIPTION
Lwm is a window manager for the X Window System. It provides enough features to allow the user to manage their windows, and no more.
Windows are surrounded by a frame with a titlebar at the top next to a small box. The frame is a grey colour for all windows except that
which has the input focus, where it is black.
In the default configuration, lwm uses the enter-to-focus scheme, where moving the pointer into a window gives that window the input focus.
Lwm may also be configured to use the click-to-focus scheme, where a window must be clicked on (with any button) to receive the input
focus. Clicking on a window in this mode causes the window to be raised. Note that a click used to focus a window is always swallowed by
lwm, so clicking a button in a new window requires two clicks.
A button 1 click on a window frame brings that window to the top. Dragging button 1 on the frame of a resizable window repositions that
edge of the window. If a corner rather than an edge is dragged, then both edges forming the corner are repositioned. While you're reshaping
a window, a little window pops up to show you the window's current size.
In the default configuration, button 1 on the root window does nothing.
Button 2 is used to drag a window by its frame, repositioning the window but maintaining its position in the window stack.
In the default configuration, button 2 on the root window brings up a new shell.
A button 3 click on a window frame hides that window. Pressing button 3 on the root window brings up a menu of all the hidden windows.
Releasing the button while over an item will unhide the named window.
A button 3 click in the frame while Shift is held down pushes the window to the back, under any other windows. (Users with 4-button mice
are encouraged to use their fourth button for this function.)
A click with any button inside the little white box in a window's frame can be used to close the window.
OPTIONS
Lwm accepts the following command line options:
-s specifies a client ID for the X Session Management system, and is used exclusively by session managers.
RESOURCES
Lwm understands the following X resources:
titlefont font used in window titles
popupFont font used in popup window (menu/size indicator)
border width in pixels of window borders
button1 program spawned when button 1 is clicked on the root window
button2 program spawned when button 2 is clicked on the root window
focus focus mode, one of "enter" for enter-to-focus (or sloppy focus), or "click" for click-to-focus
