I found the solution :
in the file administrator/components/com_yourcomp/classes/upload.php
in the line 106 :

                //Protect against execution and set writable
		@chmod($uploadPath, YOURCOMP_UPLOAD_CHMOD_FOLDER);

just comment the chmod line so that it will not change folder permission on the path where your files are.
if you have already upload files to your path before making this change.
just do a chmod 755 to your path

Define it in constants, or create a new constant.
