While defining the workflow content model, you can create an aspect containing the specific properties you want to apply on each task. Then there are two ways to have it applied on each task. One is - put them as mandatory aspect on each task. Second is create a base type on which apply the mandatory aspect and have your tasks be the child of the base type.
Then just configure the task entry in share-config-custom.xml, it should save the custom values on the task.

Tx. What I don't understand is that some properties of my workflow model are saved and some are not, although I didn't configured anything in my share-config-custom.xml. So, just by creating an aspect in my workflow model and adding it as mandatory on my tasks, the properties are saved when I click on 'Save and Close'. But not all.?! I will make some tests.
