Transform.parent does the trick. The documentation provides an example, so it shouldn't be difficult to adapt it to your situation.

You need to use Transform.parent.

 var parent : Transform;
 var bulletSpawn : Transform;
 
 function Start () {
      bulletSpawn = transform.Find("bulletSpawn");
      bulletSpawn.parent = parent;
 }

Edit: Thanks to schnaddlbraag for pointing out that the above example makes the bulletSpawn a child of the parent object. If you want to do the reverse, use

 var child : Transform;
 var bulletSpawn : Transform;
 
 function Start () {
      bulletSpawn = transform.Find("bulletSpawn");
      child.parent = bulletSpawn;
 }

Be aware that noobme's original question was about making the bullet parent of something, not vice versa!

So Dávid Debnar's example (which is basically correct, of course), should probably goe something like this:

     var newChild: Transform;
     var bulletSpawn : Transform;
      
     function Start () {
     bulletSpawn = transform.Find("bulletSpawn");
     newChild.parent = bulletSpawn;
     }
