To charge it positively placed a negatively charge body near it. The positive charge of the sphere is attracted near to the surface close to the negatively charge body. To make it completely positive just earth it (by touching it). This process is known as induction. To charge a body negatively is similar to the aforementioned method.

    You rub it with an object that is lower on the "electrostatic series" (you might want to look that up), or by touching it to another positively charged object which is a conductor.
