Mike already showed you how to do it:
1) create a new file (e.g. stylesheet.ly) which only contains a layout block 
where you declare your overrides, i.e.:
\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
    4/4 % timeSignatureFraction
    1/4 % baseMomentFraction
    #'(3 1) % beatStructure
    #'() % beamExceptions
  }
}

2) Include stylesheet.ly in your current file:

\version "2.17.95"
\include "stylesheet.ly"
\score {
  \new Staff {
    \relative c' {
      \time 4/4
      \repeat unfold 8 { c8 } |
    }
  }
}

That's it!
