Hmmm....this question seems to be a bit confused...
You can set the uid owner and gid group of a file with
chown(1) (and chgrp(1)).
The umask is associated with a process and not an inode.
This can be set for a process with umask(1).
If you want the inode to have its execute permission
bits taken away and "other" have write permission taken away
as well then you need a umask of 113 - i.e. its subtractive.
e.g. mode &= ~current->fs->umask

chacl(1) is for changing the Access Control List (ACL) on a file/dir
(see acl(5)).
You can achieve a similar thing by associating a default ACL
with the top level directory.
When this is done, files/dirs below the dir are created with
permissions of the requested mode AND'ed with the default ACL
(and the umask is ignored). Also the new file has the corresponding
access ACL associated with it.
