Is there a method in opengl to directly modify the frame buffer? or anything allowing me to draw pixels FAST?

Texture a quad (or more than one). It is more than fast enough, and is relatively easy to do.

I cannot use quads, I must use pixels, right now Im using GL_POINTS which is pretty damn slow.

Well, even glDrawPixels is faster than points in most situations.
