You might want to look at the chmod() system function (man 2 chmod), 
specifically the S_IXUSR flags, or KIO::ChmodJob for the KDE way of doing 
this.

Let me however ask what you want to achieve?
Executing arbitrary contents is possible using scripting languages (whose 
files don't need x-bits), and executing binary programs depends on the 
architecture.
Both are critical from a security point of view unless a sandbox is created 
for them.
