You cannot set mime type when uploading, as it's autodetected.

If you find any case where this detection process fails, you can modify mime type after uploading the content.

Can you give a example for this ?

I have tried this:

FormData data = new FormData();
data.addFieldData("prop_mimetype", mimetype, true);
Item itemMimetype = new Item("node", nodeRef.toString());
NodeRef nodeRefFoundedUpdated = (NodeRef)formService.saveForm(itemMimetype, data);

and this:

ContentWriter contentWriter = contentService.getWriter(nodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT, true);
if(contentWriter != null) {
	contentWriter.setMimetype(mimetype);
}

but is not working is still a "application/octet-stream" value on alfresco share
