There is 2 ways to understand what you want to do :

1. do you want to create a model for all users you'll create ? if so , 
create a first account, set that account up to fit your model. Then copy 
the concerned config files into /etc/skel/ .

2. If you want to make those changes for all existing users I think 
you'll have to create a script that do it. Loop in the users list and 
apply the changes .
