You can change the run level by editing /etc/inittab with vi. This is a job you'd better learn to do with a text editor such as vi or vim: you can change it from 5 to 3 using a GUI admin applet or editor but after it takes effect the only way you'll be able to change it back is by using a command line editor[*].

I think its still possible to gain graphical access via VNC but it would be wise to check and set things up so you can control the runlevel via the command line in case VNC isn't available at runlevel 3.
