1. the user task priority

No, only programmatically.
In Alfresco, a custom taskListener (onCreate) is used to do that automatically.

1.1 the set of the possilbe user task priorities

Those are just a number in the database. You can assign any value you like (though we provide out of the box some possible values, but you don't need to use those if you dont want to)

2. the user task state

Please define what you mean by 'state'?

State is an abstract concept, which should be defined in Activiti itself. For example, a state of processing a bugfix:

etc.

Bpmn itself has no notion of user task states… Things like open, unclaimed, claimed, etc are not specified. They are in e.g. Ws-humantask (which is very extensive) and in a more simple version in activiti. Claiming, unclaiming etc can be done via the api.

The only thing I find missing in activiti is te difference between a task being assigned and working on it actually started. Maybe I'll file a jira for this.
