Create a web scoped feature with following receiver

   public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
    {
        try
        {
            var currentWeb = (SPWeb) properties.Feature.Parent;
            var pubWeb =  PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(currentWeb);

            SPFile homePageFile = currentWeb.GetFile("Pages/custompage.aspx");
            pubWeb.DefaultPage = homePageFile;

            pubWeb.Update();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
                 //log etc..
        }
    }
