To associate default user in case tracker project:

1-Add a CCK user reference field "Default assignee" in the project content type.

2-Create ajax function on .js file :

function get_default_assignee(path, field_id) {
   var field = $('#'+ field_id).val();
   $.ajax({
    async:true,
    type:"GET",
    url:path + "get/default/assignee/" + field,
    success:function(data) {
     $("input[@id=edit-assign-to]").attr('value',data);
    }
  });
 }

3-In your .module file create menu item :

$items[] = array(
   'path'     => 'get/default/assignee',
   'title'    => t('Get default assignee'),
   'callback' => 'your_function_name',
   'access'   => TRUE,
   'type'     => MENU_CALLBACK,
 );

4-Create the callback for ajax function also in .module file:

function your_function_name() {
   $field_id = arg(3);
   $node = node_load(array('nid' => $field_id));
   $default_user = user_load(array('uid' => $node->field_default_assignee[0]['uid']));
   print $default_user->name;
   exit;
 }

5-In form_alter call the ajax function in 'Project' field:

if ($form['casetracker_case_information']['assign_to']['#default_value'] == 'Anonymous') {
   drupal_set_html_head("<script type=\"text/javascript\"> 
   $(document).ready(function(){
   get_default_assignee('".base_path() ."','edit-pid')}) 
     </script>");
 }

The End
