You cannot force it: you can remove one electron from the system, than if
the ground state (in the adopted theoretical frame) has a ionized H or Li
it shall be found at convergence.
Actually Sit, Cococcioni and Marzari (PRL97, 028303) use some sort of
trick to force a certain ionization state. I don't know if the code is
available (but you can certainly ask them).

I have no idea, certainly it may take a bit of effort to converge an
isolated charged system wrt the size of the unit cell.
