You can not. It explicitely says:
This class represents a X.509 version 3 certificate, as specified by ISO/IEC and ANSI X9.
Update: Seems that you can not actually set the version. It "configures" itself the proper version depending on which extensions you use. In V1 there were no extensions and in V2 just few.
The version number per default is set to 1 indicating a Version 1 certificate. When including subjectUniqueID or issuerUniqueID, the version automatically will be set to 2, and when adding an extension increased to 3.
