I dont know if there is administration for web UI defaults, but you can change html easily:

in

solr-4.8.1\example\solr-webapp\webapp\tpl\query.html

change order of options

<select name="wt" id="wt" title="The writer type (response format).">
      <option>xml</option>
      <option>json</option>
      <option>python</option>
      <option>ruby</option>
      <option>php</option>
      <option>csv</option>
</select>

Whatever option you put on first will be default, or set it selected:

<option selected="selected">

You may also change this html in war file in solr-4.8.1\example\webapps.

Note that path is relative to example from 4.8.1 release

The default values for your requestHandlers (which is what responds when a query is sent to /query or /select etc.), is set in solrconfig.xml. Here's the example from example/solr in the distribution:

<!-- A request handler that returns indented JSON by default -->
<requestHandler name="/query" class="solr.SearchHandler">
    <lst name="defaults">
        <str name="echoParams">explicit</str>
        <str name="wt">json</str>
        <str name="indent">true</str>
        <str name="df">text</str>
    </lst>
</requestHandler>

Changing wt to xml will give you a requestHandler that returns it response as XML by default, unless overridden at query time with the wt parameter. There might be parts of the web interface that assumes the response will be json, but I'm pretty sure those supply a value for wt anyway.
