This would be a function of the software used to display the data, rather than FME. If you are using ESRI, you would save the desired symbology as a map in a project (ArcPro), or an mxd (ArcMap).

You can use the File Geodb Open API writer. As I mentioned, the easiest way to save the symbology will be with a template, either MXD or map/project. The template is saved with the connection to the geodatabase and the desired symbology.
