You could use the literate key; in the following example. parentheses are typeset in red:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings} 
\usepackage{xcolor}

\lstset{
    basicstyle=\small\ttfamily,
    columns=fullflexible,
    literate=*{(}{{\textcolor{red}{(}}}{1}
         {)}{{\textcolor{red}{)}}}{1},
    }
\begin{document}

\begin{lstlisting}
    {
      _SetCalibTableName("lorem",100);
      g_Met_strReferenceName1=Met_strReferenceName;
    }
\end{lstlisting}

\end{document}

The package listings provide the option rulecolor.

rulecolor=\color{black},

To get a complete overview of all options have a look into the documentation.

An example with your settings is given below. I think with your settings you can see nothing.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{ 
    language=C++, % choose the language of the code
    basicstyle=\fontfamily{pcr}\selectfont\footnotesize\color{red},
    keywordstyle=\color{black}\bfseries, % style for keywords
    numbers=none, % where to put the line-numbers
    numberstyle=\tiny, % the size of the fonts that are used for the line-numbers     
    backgroundcolor=\color{darkgray},
    showspaces=false, % show spaces adding particular underscores
    showstringspaces=false, % underline spaces within strings
    showtabs=false, % show tabs within strings adding particular underscores
    frame=single, % adds a frame around the code
    tabsize=2, % sets default tabsize to 2 spaces
    rulesepcolor=\color{gray},
    rulecolor=\color{black},
    captionpos=b, % sets the caption-position to bottom
    breaklines=true, % sets automatic line breaking
    breakatwhitespace=false, 
}

\begin{lstlisting}

[Tex/LaTex] How to change color of some particular environment for entire document

There is no general solution. It depends on the enviroment. Some have dedicated hooks, other you will have to redefine. With verbatim you could e.g. change \verbatim@font. For math you could e.g. use everymath - but as you can see in the example it can have side effects as math is sometimes used in unexpected places like url.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor, url}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\verbatim@font{\color{red}\normalfont\ttfamily}
\makeatletter

\everymath{\color{green}}
\begin{document}
blub

\begin{verbatim}
abx
\end{verbatim}

blub


$x=y$

bla

\(sum=c\)

\url{www.abc}
\end{document}
