You don't. The default_workflow is so simple that there's nothing you 
can do about it through the web. It has hardcoded in the default private 
-> pending -> public workflow. If you want to change that, find another 
workflow or write one.

See the design docs on the cmf dogbowl for the workflow API.

If you don't want to write one, download the DCWorkflow, which allows 
through-the-web creation of arbitrary state machines. It's pretty slick.
