The mechanism for this stuff varies from force field to force field, but you 
should start with a thorough knowledge of chapter 5 - knowing how your force 
field is constructing and/or reading parameters from the .itp files. I think 
all force fields will let you simply specify non-bonded parameters in your 
[molecule] sections that will override the ones that would otherwise be looked 
up from the .itp files.
