is it possible to create a remote that can control the force acting on a magnet? for example is, to stop one magnet from attracting or repulsing other metals. or making a magnet adjust the force it apply to other object.

Or do you mean how to switch a permanent magnet on and off? This is a magnetic base for dial indicators:

The lever switches the permanent magnet base on and off. And this is a magnetic chuck used in machine tools:

It also has a lever to switch the magnets on and off.

In both cases, the lever rotates an internal permanent magnet so that the base/table surface is either magnetized or not magnetized.

thank you, then what is the proper way in raising or lowering the amount of force that a magnet exert?

To increase the range of force, you have to increase the magnetism. That should be doable with an electromagnet.

If it was both easy and needed, it was done long ago.
The method used will depend on what are you trying to achieve.
You need to explain; why do you need a stronger or a variable magnet?
