hai,
if you want to use reset pin as gpio.declare as output and pull up the pin

if you disable the reset pin and use it as an I/O then you can no longer use ISP, you can only use a parallel programmer,
In fact I'm not sure if you can change the reset fuse while connected with a serial programmer, I think you need a parallel one to change it.

You can find a parallel programmer schematic in the end of this page
ELM - AVR programmer
