Why change the default? Global state is always a liability; Just don't do 
it. Make the field a parameter to your code: 

def frobnicate(x,y, field=None)
    if field is None:
        from sage.structure.element import get_coercion_model
        field = get_coercion_model().common_parent(x, y)
    x, y = field(x), field(y)
    ...

frobnicate(1, 2, field=RealField(100))
