Put that in front of the notes you want displayed as crosses:
\override Staff.NoteHead #'style = #'cross
And this to switch to normal noteheads:
\override Staff.NoteHead #'style = #'default
If you want the crosses in the TabStaff context, I can not help you,
using TabStaff.NoteHead instead of Staff.NoteHead in the example above
do not work for me :-(
Greetings
