You can parent GameObjects using their transform:

transform.parent = otherGameObject.transform

What if your object is a prefab? "Setting the parent of a transform which resides in a prefab is disabled to prevent data corruption."

You could use a FixedJoint or search unityAnswers for "parenting".

This is a little bit to much work if it is possible with a very simple line of code! Have a look @_Petroz answer!
