i'm not sure why there's a sysctl service on your system, but
initial kernel parameters such as kernel.core_pattern should be
able to be set via the sysctl.conf file, as well as (at least for
Linux kernels) via the kernel command line.
Regarding your particular situation, if the reason you're wanting
a core size of 0 is to avoid core dumps getting created, you could
try specifying /dev/null as the file for kernel.core_pattern:
kernel.core_pattern=/dev/null
