This is not really the right forum to ask this question; try the 
Formulator mailing list:

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/formulator-general

Anyway, changing the default you wouldn't usually do with the TALES
tab at all, instead just pass an argument from the code that renders
the fields:

<field tal:replace="myfield.render(mydefault)" />

is the most simplest case of that.
