I want a way by which whenever I create a new file in a particular directory, I want it to be executable by default.
Is this even possible, if so how?

You can change permission of a directory using the following command
chmod -R 700 directory
where -R ----> recursively apply permission all sub-directories and files under directory
It depends, how you create the file. If you want strict executable for the creator only, than use:
chmod 100 myfile
If you need read-write access as well:
chmod 700 myfile
A little help: http://www.meine-erste-homepage.com/chmod-generator.php
Automatic creation can be done wuth install
(part of coreutils):
install -b -m 700 /dev/null myfile
