1.  You probably do not want the files to be 777,  It would be much
better that they be 664.  World executable and writeable files are a big
security risk.

2.  As far as I know, there is no way to have every user _create_ files
that are read/write for everyone else unless the umask allows that.

You can set everyones umask to be 002, and make everyone a member of the
chosen group (users may be a good group choice).  Then every file they
create would be readable and writeable by other members of the same
group as well as readable by all users but not writeable by those not
members of the group.

If you insist on having the permissions set in a specific folder for
everything to be 777 (or 666) or whatever, you could simply put in an
entry in /etc/crontab like this:
     * * * * * chmod -R 777 path/to/folder/
That command would be executed once every minute and would change
anything not already having the 777 permissions to be 777 for that
folder and everything in it.

This seems a big security problem to me.
