Hi,
in the source code the sizes are: KEY_SIZE=32, BLOCK_SIZE=16, SHA_SIZE=32

if I want to use bigger key size and block size what should i do?
is this correct? KEY_SIZE=256, BLOCK_SIZE=128, SHA_SIZE=256

Some of those parameters have to do with block sizes over which AES operates. AES Crypt uses only a 256-bit key. There is no way to change that key size and AES does not define a means of using a larger key.
