From the name of your script, I'm guessing you want to populate a field with the currently logged in user.  

For that, you could use the following line of code to set the field 'requested_for' with the current user.

  g_form.setValue('requested_for',g_user.userID);

You should check out this developer documentation on the GlideForm API and search for the following to see more information on how to set a value:

setValue(String fieldName, String value)
