I am using LabVIEW 8.5. I changed to classic style through option but it does not work for new VIs. I started LabVIEW but that didn't help either. I also like the classic style and would like to default it.

Can you explain what you mean by "does not work"? What exactly do you expect after setting this option?
Typically it will only work for primitives. If you do a create control/indicator on a subVI, you'll get the style that the subVI has.

Well, if I set the control/indicator style to classic as a default, then expect it to create control/Incidcatior in new VI in Classic style. When I create a New VI then try to place indictor/control is still default to modern style.

Well, to manually place a classic control, you would just go to the classic palette, no settings needed. 😉
Have you read the detailed help for this option? Maybe it's not exactly what you think it is.
"Control Style for Create Control/Indicator—Changes the style of the control or indicator LabVIEW creates when you right-click a terminal and select Create»Control or Create»Indicator from the shortcut menu."

This behavior is annoying and is still present in LV 2011: create an indicator or a control by selecting the output or input of a Function or a subVI present on your diagram, and the indicator/control will adopt the default style of that Function/subVI: for most functions, it will be the Modern style (presumably because they were recompiled/rewritten after the Modern Style was introduced. There is certain logic to this, but it is conflicting with the idea of the expectations of the "Control Style for New VI". It is especially frustrating when the created object is complex and there is no simple way to change its style: for instance an array, for which you have to update both the "Array" itself and the object inside. Even worse with clusters...
I would suggest replacing that restrictive option to a "Control Style for New Controls".
