Normally it's just the task to press alt, then aircraft, then fuel, then reduce the fuel load

Otherwise I have no idea!

Some add-on aircraft have a fuel dump gauge which simulates fuel dumping. However I don't believe its a feature of the standard FS9/FSX aircraft

PMDG 747, Level-D 767.

The other option (as in real-life) is to fly low, slow, and with lots of drag!

That reminds me of this: Allegedly the American aircraft that dumped fuel on Windsor Castle a few years ago said to ATC shortly after departing Heathrow:

Aircraft: "(Callsign) We're going to dump fuel"
ATC: "I wouldn't dump the fuel there; Windsor Castle is ahead - the home of the Queen"
Aircraft: "Well sir, she can either have the fuel or the whole (censored) aeroplane!"

Best regards,
Vulcan.
