How can you make bodies, like the sun and earth, rotate or spin on their own?

The one way I have found is to set a rotation period in the .xml file.
Use the tags ... <RotationPeriod>
number of hours
</RotationPeriod>

OmegaRed is right... And that's currently the only way to set the rotation.
The rotation values of the Earth, Sun, and other bodies can be found in the LocalObjects.xml file.

From the main menu inside Universe Sandbox...
click on 'New' and then click the link 'Create New System File' for instructions.
