This is in the documentation[1]. Native means that PowerDNS does not do
the replication, but the backend is responsible for this (e.g. database
replication or rsync in the case of the BIND backend).

It depends on the backend. For any database backend you can change this
using pdnsutil:

  pdnsutil set-kind example.com MASTER

If you're using the BIND backend, you'll need to edit the bind config
file and run

  pdns_control rediscover
