You can specify the tablespace where you want to store your table. I hope you understand the logical structure of the database like Data blocks, extent,segment and tablespace. If you are not aware of the same then please go through the theoritical concepts from some good oracle book.

What do you mean by your own path ? A table in oracle is not a file that you will store in a particular location in hard drive.

You need to understand what is a data file , what is a table space and need to go through the complete syntax of create table (with table space clause)
