Please read the smb.conf man page and check on-line documentation before 
posting requests like this. The reason so few posts get answers these days 
could have something to do with the number of questions asked that do not 
reflect that the person asking has done any home work before interrupting 
everyone.

The smb.conf options that can be put in the share stanza are:

	force create mode
	force directory mode
	force user
	force group

In addition you should read the book "The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference 
Guide" chapter on File, Directory and Share Access Contols.
