Tasks (at least when configured in Outlook or on the Phone) do allow you to set reminders. Maybe have them (those that assign you the tasks) set a reminder on the tasks for 10 minutes after creation (if too early, it may not sound depending on how long it takes to sync, or if it doesn't get added to the notification queue in time). This will use your default Reminder sound, and will popup a notice (similar to a Calendar reminder). This is NOT the due date (there is a separate "reminder" that can be set in Outlook and on the phone when creating a task).
Other than that, I don't believe there is a notification setting for new tasks upon creation (under Sounds and Notifications in Settings) - since the Windows Mobile background is as a PIM, it was designed so that the end user (you) would create Tasks and be aware of them.
You can also try to look for a desktop solution which will copy your tasks to your e-mail, or send you an SMS upon a new task. You should be able to create a macro/script in Outlook that can do this, but you will need to leave Outlook open all the time.
