Hello, buy this MCU and I am unhappy. There is 500 kHz oscillator works by default. And I try all what I can but not possible activate internal oscillator at 32 mHz. Is there any solution for this problem if I am not programmer?

Hello.
If you look at page 3 of the datasheet it states:
16F721 internal osc.png
16F721 internal osc.png (171.88 KiB) Viewed 1011 times
This microcontroller's internal oscillator can only go up to 16MHz
All you do is within project options, set the clock speed to 16MHz and INTOSC PLLEN Enable tp 16MHz.
within the components ribbon use the search and enter intosc to add the Internal Oscillator Helper
Within its properties choose 16MHz.
For the rest of the details right click on the component after placing it on the 2d panel and select help.
Alternatively, when the component is shown within the search box, you can right or left-click on it and also select help.

I do not understand what you wrote. Where, what, how?

Many thanks Martin !!! Now I understand and all works. But there is 16 mHz. You right. I just see another datasheet. Sorry.

Regards.
