You can define this on a per-part basis using the KiCad symbol and KiCad footprint field in the EDA tab of the part editor. Or you can define it at a category (symbol) or footprint level, to assign this value to all parts with this category and footprint.
For example to configure the values for an BC547 transistor you would put `Transistor_BJT:BC547` on the parts Kicad symbol to give it the right schematic symbol in EEschema and `Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-92` to give it the right footprint in PcbNew.

If you type in a character, you will get an autocomplete list of all symbols and footprints available in the kicad standard library. You can also input your own value.
