Well setting global defaults is normally accomplished by setting values
in the central sge_request file as Kamel suggested.  However it appears
that what he describes is not what you want but you haven't stated what
your problem is (ie how does Grid Engine's behavior when you do this
differ from what you want).  I don't think the phrase 'default queue' is
helping here. It might be easier if you described what you want to
accomplish without reference to queues (which are, after all, an
implementation detail). However I'll attempt to guess your meaning. 

Do you perhaps want jobs by default to fill the nodes currently
associated with the normal queue but use the nodes associated with the
high queue iff no 'normal' nodes are available?  There are a couple of
ways to do this.  

The simplest would be to set the queue_sort_method in sched_conf to
seqno and then set appropriate sequence numbers on the two queues.  This
doesn't always work if the job requests a wildcard PE as the least
used PE is generally preferred.   If you have wildcard PE selection
then adding a soft request for the normal queue might work.  I'm not
sure if you can do this from sge_request but if not you can always
modify requests from a jsv.
