I need help on how to increase the thickness of a multiline. For example; top line (Dashed)=0.5, bottom line(Solid)=0.5

I see only 2 options, as I dont see a lineweight section in the mline options

1) if you are using CTB, just make them colors that corrispond to the lineweight you wish them to be

2) create multiple offsets that are really close to each other and approximate the look you are going for (this is not a very good option, I could see issues with linetypes around corners)

Once a multiline style is used, it cannot be changed AFAIK.

Edit:  If scaling the mlines are enough, that should change the spacing of the lines.  Otherwise, to get access to editing a mlstyle, you need to cut/paste all mlines to another drawing.  With no mlines in the original drawing of a given mlstyle, you can modify that style. Then you can paste the mlines back into the drawing. To get the new definition to control, you need to toggle the scale away from 1 and then back.

As dbroad suggested, once a multiline style is used, it cannot be changed. 

But you define a new multiline style and can use a lisp file to replace multilines in one style with another.

Thanks @Anonymous 

For sharing your problem, for the solution of this problem, you have to open the properties of line by using "prop" command or right click on that line and select the properties after this one blog is open and there is option for width of lines and then change the width of line as per your requirements.

 

Hope the above information helps you!!
