a) Following the manuals:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/internals/barline
this would do it for the default bar line in 2.17.9:

\layout {
  \override Score.BarLine #'glyph-name = #"!"   % dashed
  % \override Score.BarLine #'glyph-name = #";" % or dotted
}

b) For the time signature you would need an extra
 \override Score.BarLine #'glyph-name = #"|"

There is probably a better solution for b), which does not require to
modify the music input.
