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.
