to set options for certain modes emacs uses `hooks', usually following
the naming scheme `foo-mode-hook' where "foo" is the mode in question.

Check out the section on hooks in the emacs info manual:

C-h i m Emacs m Hooks

a quick example could be
#+begin_src: elisp
(defun my-ruby-coding-style nil
  (setq indent-tabs-mode t))

(defun my-c-coding-style nil
  (setq indent-tabs-mode nil
        tab-width 4))

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-coding-style)
(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook 'my-ruby-coding-style)
#+end_src
