Changing high DPI scaling override property under Windows 10

In the Windows 10 file properties of an executable in the compatibility tab, there is an option to override the default DPI scaling behaviour. The default is "Application", which lets the program handle DPI scaling itself. I'd like to change this option on an executable (not developed by me), which I want to be scaled by Windows (option "System"). How can I change this property programmatically (WinAPI?)?
