Hi, I have a problem with changing the ceramic bracelet in my PAM 438. On one side there is a screw to unscrew, but I do not want to go out completely, and on the other side is a black cap. Someone can help?

If you want to remove the bracelet to swap out with a leather strap, then unscrew the lug bar completely. The lug bar on the PAM438 is a bit shorter compared to the standard lug bars on other models because of the cap on the other side.

I unscrew and the screw stays on the watch - it does not come out enough to pull it out. Can I take the cap off somehow?

No you can't AFAIK. You might damage the lug which we don't want to happen. But it's strange that the lug does not come out. Just use a piece of strong tape to capture the end to pull it out.
