Set IsConverted to true

Hi Community,
I want to set the IsConverted (=true) variable of a Lead, but it is a readonly field...

We are creating leads, opportunities, contacts and accounts via api and we want to set the lead as converted. Is there a way to do this via api? I found the LeadConvert class, but this class will merge informations and I can not disable the option to create a new opportunity.
I hope someone could help me. Thanks.

No, you can't set this field as it's read-only. You can use existing opportunities and contact records to specify them while converting lead using API. Doing so will not create any record.

Thanks for your answer. How do you mean it? How can I specifiy opportunities and contacts while converting a lead?

What about using isDoNotCreateOpportunity() in the LeadConvert class?
