Logic level of output pins at power-up and power-down

Can anybody tell me how to set the logic level of output pins to GND during power-up and power-down? Many thanks.

    You need to use an external resistor to pull-down the pins you want at logic low level. Altera FPGAs have on-chip weak pull-ups, but not pull-downs.

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, I am unable to change anything on my target board.
