Is there any way in Visual C# 2008 Express to override the formatting defaults? For instance, I want a single space before open parens when I'm passing arguments, but VC# won't let me do that.
Try Tools >> Options >> Text Editor >> C# >> Formatting >> Spacing. That's the path for the professional edition. I'm assuming it will be the same for the Express edition.
