In your controller before you call saveAssociated, set the values for
user_id in the UserProfile and UserSetting parts of the array.

$this->request->data['UserProfile']['user_id'] =
$this->request->data['User']['id'];
$this->request->data['UserSetting']['user_id'] =
$this->request->data['User']['id'];

Or if you want to use an interim array, assign the request data to an
array and then set the user_id. Then use that array to save the
associated data.

$request_data = $this->request->data;
$request_data['UserProfile']['user_id'] = $this->request->data['User']['id'];
$request_data['UserSetting']['user_id'] = $this->request->data['User']['id'];
$this->User->saveAssociated($request_data);
