You can't.  It's up to the device to tell the host what "speed" it is
running at.  See the USB spec for all of the crazy details.

I suggest you modify the firmware of your modem to do this, that's the
only way it is going to work (note, your device needs to be able to
support full speed, it might not be able to do that.)

good luck!
