I want codeblocks to be the default when i try to open a .cpp or .h file but right now it open's in dev-C++ by default. How can i change this?

It depends on the operation/wm you're using. Consulting its manual is the best thing you could do.

To clarify it depends on the Operation System (OS) or Window Manager (wm).

Note: I am guessing on the wm meaning.

Please re-read the rules you maybe breaking http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,9996.0.html.

Edit: In this case, I think you are not violating the rules because I think CB should have a way to do what you want.
Which is to do File Associations with the CB Application. I do NOT know of a way to do File Associations under CB.
And, the answer likely would vary per the OS/wm used.  

Edit2: Found a location inside CB to do it for Windows; "Settings" -> "Environment" -> "General Setting"
