Manually meaning you pass something like 'run job=name yes' to bconsole?

No. The only thing the scheduler can do is scheduling jobs. It can't change the 
jobs setting depending on the date, time, etc.

In your script, you could set the level as you like, and then do echo "run 
level=${JOBLEVEL} job=jobname yes" | bconsole

Getting the first Saturday of a month with bash & date is not as simple as 
using Bacula's scheduler, but still not really difficult... 
alternatively, you could run your script from a RunScript resource in the Job.
