Unfortunately Alfresco up to 5.2 only had a bare ReST API when it came to workflows. With Alfresco 5.2 there is now a new v1 ReST API that includes a significantly enhanced workflow ReST API. You can take a look at the API definition document or investigate the API using the api-explorer against a running instance of Alfresco 5.2.

If you are using a version below 5.2 you can write a web script that leverages the native Alfresco workflow API or, if necessary, the lower-level Activiti API. Then you can call your web script remotely to create the workflow task.
