there is no command to change goverment type directly, but you could do it like this:
civilwar [<ideology>] [<target country tag>] ---starts a civilwar in target country
tag [<target country tag>] ---switch to target country
annex [<target country tag>] --- annex target country

with these 3 commands you should be able to start a civilwar and make the side win you want. (I didn't test it)

from my understanding you can do it with events, i just dont know exactly which ones
