I don't think I completely understand what you mean. You mention a directory you're changing the permissions on. Is the script in the directory too? Or are you just trying to create UPLOADFILE in that directory?
Really the directory should have 700 permissions on it ... to do most anything with a directory it has to be executable. I suppose you could write something in your script so that when they upload files, the permissions on the file are changed to 600 so they can't execute the files. But the directory needs to be executable to move files in or out of it.

I am little bit confused by the behaviour of rm in Ubuntu.
It seems that as a regular user I can delete files owned by another user even when the permissions are set to 644.
Here is an example:

dh_fixperms
DH_FIXPERMS(1) Debhelper DH_FIXPERMS(1)
NAME
dh_fixperms - fix permissions of files in package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_fixperms [debhelperoptions] [-Xitem]
DESCRIPTION
dh_fixperms is a debhelper program that is responsible for setting the permissions of files and directories in package build directories to
a sane state -- a state that complies with Debian policy.
dh_fixperms makes all files in usr/share/doc in the package build directory (excluding files in the examples/ directory) be mode 644. It
also changes the permissions of all man pages to mode 644. It removes group and other write permission from all files. It removes execute
permissions from any libraries, headers, Perl modules, or desktop files that have it set. It makes all files in the standard bin and sbin
directories, usr/games/ and etc/init.d executable (since v4). Finally, it removes the setuid and setgid bits from all files in the package.
When the Rules-Requires-Root field has the (effective) value of binary-targets, dh_fixperms will also reset the ownership of all paths to
"root:root".
OPTIONS
-Xitem, --exclude item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from having their permissions changed. You may use this option multiple
times to build up a list of things to exclude.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
