On a terminal:

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Look for:

# default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 
0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default 
entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default        0

edit the default value to match your needs.
