to determine what to set the umask to, subtract the desired permissions
example
777 - 022= 755 directories
666 - 022= 644 files
Therefore, set your umask 022

It depends on how you are creating the file. If you are using the creat function, you can set the permission during creation.
umask only filters permissions. Files are generally created with 666 and use the umask to filter from that default. Directories are made with 777 before the umask is used.
