  It's not possible to have default values for most field types and it is also not possible to have default matrix block already added to your new entries.
  
  If there was [an event](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/plugins/hooks-and-events) that gets raised before an entry is displayed in the Control Panel's "Edit Entry" view, you could set default values rather easily with a custom business logic plugin.
  
  There's no such event available yet, but you could vote for the feature request I just added:
