guess it depends on sentences. if you wanna say 'a person's destiny is fixed/ set from birth.' in Japanese 「人の運命は決まっている」, as such 決まっている is the way you would take, but don't ask me why it is present progressive form of the verb 決まる.
a verb 決定する means 'deside/ make a decision', hence it don't seem to quite fit the sentence above.
of course there is some words we convey the meaning of 'set/fixed'. for instance, 固定する means 'fix/ set', which is basically used when some sort of smaller parts are physically attached to something bigger part as in 屋根を固定する in Japanese.
