PortA 16F627

Hi
I have a few questions relating to the use of portA on this PIC.
The pin outs describe pin 4 as RA5\MCLR, if not used as MCLR does this mean I can use RA5 as a regular output and if so, how?

Also the same is true for pin 15 = RA6\OSC2\CLKOUT. I am using the internal OSC so how do I use this pin as a regular output?

Any help is appreciated

Change the CONFIG fuse bits... except for the fact that RA5/MCLR can only be used as an input.

Same thing, change the CONFIG bits to change the oscillator mode (Internal osc, RA6 I/O)

How? read the following
