Hi Michele,

this should be possible. Having a layer, get its renderer:
r = layer.renderer()
Then get list of symbols:
syms = r.symbols()

Check QgsSymbol documentation to see what's possible to do with
symbols - you can query the symbol properties, upper and lower value
of range for symbol or also set the properties, e.g.:
syms[0].setLineWidth(3)
(will set line width to 3 mm)

One small warning: from the next release (v1.4) there will be
additionally a new symbology implementation. For more information
about the topic, see: http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Symbology-NG
