QUESTION - How to change LED function:

Green LED: Power (indicate power is applied)
Red LED: (indicate) Read and write activity of my SD card

ANSWER:

Add the following lines to your /boot/config.txt file:

dtparam=act_led_trigger=default-on 
dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=mmc0

Before adding these lines, you should verify that there are no other dtparam statements in /boot/config.txt that address act_led_trigger or pwr_led_trigger. Also verify that there are no dtoverlay=act-led statements.

After saving the edited /boot/config.txt file, exit your editor & reboot your system.
