The sequence of real numbers \( a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_n, \cdots \) is defined by the following equation: \( a_{n+1} = 2^n - 3a_n \) for \( n = 0, 1, 2, \cdots \).
1. Find an expression for \( a_n \) in terms of \( a_0 \) and \( n \).
2. Find \( a_0 \) such that \( a_{n+1} > a_n \) for any positive integer \( n \).
