The 'pref_uid' field contains the Horde username.

Not sure exactly what you are saying, but you can use getAuth() to get the
current user that's logged in.

You need to change the /config/prefs.php for whichever application you want
the global preferences set for.

The thing you need to know is this, if there isn't a pref for a user in
whichever backend you are storing them, then Horde looks at the prefs.php.
So, if you want to change everyone's prefs, just delete which pref you want
to "reset" from the database after making the changes to the
config/prefs.php  That way, the next time they login, it will use the
defaults.
