I am not sure specifically what you are looking for but you can add a 
default value to a column in an ALTER TABLE statement:

ALTER TABLE two ALTER COLUMN col_b SET DEFAULT 1;

Beyond that you can use another ALTER statement to add a Foreign Key 
constraint to the column:

ALTER TABLE two ADD CONSTRAINT two_fk foreign key(col_b) REFERENCES 
tbl_one(col_a) match full;

The biggest thing that I have noticed is many things require you to use 
separate ALTER statements in order for them to work.

I hope this helps.
