Add the custom computation method to the ECU description object.

add(descObj,CompuMethod_1);

Get the properties of the newly added computation method.

get(descObj,"CompuMethod","CompuMethod_1")
ans = 
  CompuMethod with properties:

     ConversionType: 'LINEAR'
    CompuVTabValues: [1x1 struct]
         CustomData: ""

To modify a property of the computation method, use set function. Update the ConversionType field of the computation method to TAB_VERB and define the CompuVTabValues.

set(descObj,"CompuMethod","CompuMethod_1",ConversionType="TAB_VERB");
set(descObj,"CompuMethod","CompuMethod_1",CompuVTabValues = struct('Literals',["false" "true"],'Values',[0 1]));

Get the properties to see the modified fields.
