The simple answer is: You can't.

The complicated answer: You could hack into the JSF-pages that handles the workflow for you and make some changes there so that it triggers "task-done" without the need for pressing the button.

Perhaps you could create your own workflow and write a webscript-interface to it that behaves the way you like. The "standard ui" of Alfresco really isn't made for that kind of changes.

Thank you for your answer…
I thought this would be easier… maybe a next Alfresco release? :roll:

But… A last question… Where can I use that workflow-javascript-api methods???

What are their scopes?

Copy the out of the box workflow and customise it so the workflow transitions straight to end on approve / reject without the intermediate task.
