I think its better to put your association in the construct function of your Model. like this:

/**
 * @see Model::__construct
 */
public function __construct($id = false, $table = null, $ds = null) {
    public $hasMany = array(
        'AskComment' => array(
            'className' => 'AskComment',
            'foreignKey' => 'primary_id',
            'conditions' => array(
                'AskComment.user_id' => $user_id,
            ),
        ),
    );
}

If you want to add dynamic condition in your model, then you might have to bind the model association-ship dynamically into your controller's code. Write the following code into your controller's method for which you want to impose some new condition on the existing/new associated models.

$this->PrimaryModel->bindModel(array('hasMany' => array(
    'AskComment' => array(
        'className' => 'AskComment',
             'foreignKey' => 'primary_id',
              'conditions' => array('AskComment.user_id' => $user_id)
         )
    )
));

Take a look at this link: Creating and destroying associations on the fly. This will surely help you to achieve the same.
