If you want to change the size of an individual bullet:
- position the cursor just after the bullet (that means before the first character of the text)
- move the cursor left one position with the left arrow. Now the bullet is selected
- change the font size (and perhaps the font also)

If you want to do it consistently, use a list style (Styles and Templates, fifth icon)
It is advisable anyway to use styles. If you have given your bulleted paragraph for example List 1 
style, and change the bullet size and/or font, it will be remembered in the list style.

I think it is best to do this together with a paragraph style, for example paragraph style List 1. 
When you edit the paragraph style, there is a tab "Outline & Numbering", where you can select the 
Numbering Style. Numbering style is what is called in the Styles and Formatting dialog: List 
Styles. A bit confusing, I think, but List style and Numbering style are just two aspects of the 
same thing. List style is for bullets and Numbering style is for numbers, but they basically belong 
together. And then, of course, to make the confusion even worse, in the Format menu they are called 
"Bullets and Numbering".
