Hi WaterTiger13, and welcome to AF
I don't know about changing these in the Note II's native app. Possibly someone in the
Note II forum here will be able to help with that.
The other option would be to download an alternative messaging app from the Play Store (Go SMS, Handcent, Chomp, Pansi,...), since these often include more options.
Hope you find what you are looking for, and once again, welcome
