Here you go:

tell application "Macintosh HD:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app"
    set thisDoc to front document   
    set line spacing of every paragraph style of thisDoc to 200
end tell

The value of line spacing is in percent, thus 200 will result in double line spacing.

EDIT: this, however, would set the line spacing everywhere in the document, not just the body text paragraphs. If you want only them, consider looping through them and changing their paragraph styles one by one:

    repeat with p in paragraphs of thisDoc
        set line spacing of p's paragraph style to 200
    end repeat
