Basically you have to build a newList item out of the text, and then swap them. Should look roughly like this:

var location = body.getChildIndex(yourParagraph);

var pText = yourParagraph.getText();

var lItem = body.appendListItem();

lItem.setText(pText);

body.insertListItem(location, lItem);

You might have to fiddle with this a little. But this is the general idea you are looking for, I think.
