So after some reading of Virtual Box manual i found the answer.
You must install the Guest Drivers in the Ubuntu guest machine and create a xorg.conf file.
Step 1 - Start the virtual machine and mout the VBoxAdditions.iso
If you can't find it on the menu you will have to find the image and mount it .If your on a windows host you will find it in your VirtualBox instalation folder mine is on d:\VirtualBox\.If you are on linux host you will find it in /usr/share/Virtual Box/ folder.
Step 2 - install the guest adition drivers
Open a shell and type:
cd /media/cdrom0/
ls -ltr
If you are on 32 bit machine you must install VBoxLinuxAdditios-x86.run like this:
sudo sh VBoxLinuxAdditios-x86.run
After the install completes reboot the sistem
Step 3 - create a xorg.conf file
Open a shell and type:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Now copy this lines bellow in the xorg.conf file you just created and save the file.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "vboxvideo"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "VirtualBox graphics card"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1200"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Under modes put your own monitor resolution.Log out and after that you will be able to change the screen resolution using Sistem-->Preferences-->Display
