You'll need to go to the File association page of System Settings or 
KControlCenter (depending on whether you're using KDE 4 or KDE 3). You'll find 
a list of known file types. You'll need to search the list for the types you 
want to change (you can put the extension of the file in the search bar above 
the list to make things easier). Selecting a file type will display on the 
right of the page a list of applications which can be used to open those 
files. Using the Move up and Move down buttons you can move the applications 
in the list. The one at the top will be the one used by default to open the 
files of that type.

I hope this helps
