You need to set the client id when you create the tracker:

ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', {
  'clientId': '<my custom clientid>'
});

Once the tracker is created you cannot change it. Changing the client id will end the session and create a new user, so you'll loose all related information (traffic source etc.).

This is documented behaviour inasfar as clientid is listed in the "Create Only Fields" section of the analytics.js field reference.
