Make an extention, have a ext_tables.php there and make the changes
directly in the arrays. Just make sure you loadTCA() the table you want
to change first, so that your changes will override the core settings:

t3lib_div::loadTCA('tt_content');
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['media']['config']['uploadfolder'] = 'blabla';
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['multimedia']['config']['uploadfolder'] =
'blabla';
...
