You don't generally want to change Return-Path. But to change, or add,
the "Reply-To" field just add this to your ~/.emacs file:

;; For message mode
(setq message-mode-hook
  '(lambda ()
    (setq message-default-headers "Reply-To: you@someaddress.com\n")
))

That's what I use, or used to use, before I switched to gnus for my
email.
