In the properties of a disk drive in windows 7/8/8.1 there are two Write-caching 'policies' that can be set. I've found disabling 'Enable write caching on this device' significantly improves the reliability of systems that are subject to unexpected hard power cycles.
I'm looking for a way to disable this option in some sort of automated fashion. I'll be writing it into a batch script, so either something command line or vbs would work.

There does not seem to be a native, built-in cli executable to perform what you're asking but Microsoft's dskcache utility available here should be able to accomplish what you seek.
A little tip: If you're trying to find a way to accomplish something in Windows without using the GUI, try searching with the words 'Windows Core', as that version of Windows has no GUI by default.
In essence, search for windows core task-you-wish-to-accomplish
