You can change scale property for the content of VBoxContainer/HBoxContainer, but the items will overlap each other. The best way would be to modify size of the content with Min Size property in editor. From code it’s set_custom_minimum_size(Vect2 size) method.

If you really want to work with scale you can simulate this by multiplying initial size with factor. For example:

#inside Control Node (lets say a button)
var initSize;
func _ready():
   initSize = get_size();

func scaleMinSize(inScaleFactor = 1.0):
   set_custom_minimum_size(initSize*inScaleFactor);
