Once it's running, you can't. What you do is set the umask in the script
which fires off the daemon.
Example: suppose the startup script says
su the-user -c 'the-daemon &'
Make that say:
su the-user -c 'umask XXX; the-daemon &'
Note that some daemons overwrite their umask anyway.

The daemon will not be being started from a login shell, so the .bash_profile
will not be consulted.
