How do you bend trunk/branches??

i bought a small pepper tree and the trunk is strait, wanted to give it a small bend, but don't know how or even if i can?

also some branches, there easier as they are soft so they will bend with wire?

the good Branch's at the top have also been chopped, so they don't "lead" anywhere unfortunately,
