Under normal circumstances, a Normal Summon will be in face-up attack mode, and a Set will be in face-down defence mode.
Some cards can change this, such as Light of Intervention, which prevents monsters from being set, but allows them to be Normal Summoned in face-up defence mode.
Special summons are different - the default is face-up attack or face-up defence position. Again though sometimes individual card effects can 'special set' the card, or restrict it to a specific mode.

In Yu-Gi-Oh can you turn a card from defense to attack position or attack to defense position?
Yes. Once per turn, a monster may switch from face-up attack mode to face-up defence mode, or vice-versa, as long as the monster was not summoned that turn, and had not declared an attack. If the monster is face-down, then turning it face up into attack mode is a Flip Summon, which can't be done on the turn the monster was Set from hand.
