"Hi .... how can i change to the default directory that i am using when i login as a spesific user?"

How to do this varies from one distribution to another but you can probably do it by changing /home/user/.bashrc

The HOME variable should contain your default directory. Try:
echo $HOME

So you should try changing the $HOME setting in /home/user/.bashrc

Change TO the default directory?
A simple "cd" with no parameters should take you there, if that's what you mean.

You could just change the home directory of the user in question.
