I'm not sure what you are asking when you refer to 'launch "chmod"'.

If you mean 'change permissions from windows', then 'force create mode' 
should do what you want.

       force create mode (S)
          This  parameter  specifies  a  set of UNIX mode bit permissions that
          will always be set on a file created by Samba. This is done by  bit-
          wise  'OR'ing  these bits onto the mode bits of a file that is being
          created or having its permissions  changed.  The  default  for  this
          parameter is (in octal) 000. The modes in this parameter are bitwise
          'OR'ed onto the file mode after the mask  set  in  the  create  mask
          parameter is applied. 

Note the "is being created *or having its permissions changed*"...

If you mean 'actually running "chmod" on the server', then there is nothing
that Samba can do about that, as that is something that is occurring on the
server itself, below the level of Samba. 

What might work to allow full access to everythign in the share-- regardless of
permissions -- would be to assign 'admin users' to the share in question... but
read the warnings about this.
