The first character in /boot/grub/default is the offset from the first grub menu selection in /boot/grub/menu.lst. This is the default boot selection (zero for first, one for second, etc). You could write a little script or program to change that value after startup, thus changing the default for next boot. Be sure you maintain the size of the default file.
