Well, as it's "global", I don't understand what you mean by default value...
The value that you set by last will be the value to be used.
You may use the Object editor (when you hover "Edit", there are many
editors, "Object" is one) to add objects onto a page and set their property
values.

You don't need to add the object to every page that will use it, only to the
page that will "contain it", otherwise it's not global. All you need is to
reference it, and to do it there are API methods that can help.
To display the value, for example, I believe you may do the following:
#set($document = $xwiki.getDocument("Space.DocName"))
#set($object = $document.getObject("Classname"))
$document.display("propertyName", $object, $xwiki)
I haven't tested that, I'm not sure it will work. By the way, I'm a newbie
too, so there maybe there are easier ways of doing global variables, but I
don't know.

If you change the property - don't forget to save the document if you're
editing by script, $document.save() - every other page that uses the same
property of the same object of the same page will be affected. So, it is a
reference, not a copy.
I don't know how XWiki would handle concurrent edition...
