There are two ways of doing it. Design them in the game, start with them as human players, then set them to AI. Or design them with map commands and append them to the end of the map. Im afraid there is no map-commands option to put a god to sleep or imprisoned.
However with the map commands you do get to do much more. A pretender can be ANY unit in the game, not just those on the pretender list. You can pile on magic and scales (just remember to turn off "cheat detection"). You can also give the god starting equipment such as a Frost Brand sword and an Anti-Magic Amulet. You can assign bodyguards that it usually would not have access to such as angels. You can also give the AI nation extra troops, extra castles, extra magic sites, etc.
Here is a quicky-reference list of the map commands just so you can see whats there.

Here is an example of an AI god. Try copying aran.map in your maps directory to aran2.map then add these lines to the end.

Now start an Early Era game with that map and add Pangaea as an AI. Pangaea (nation 11) will have a god named GreenMind with very helpful starting equipment and decent scales.

All options open with no menu list appears to them to be no options at all.
