I believe you want:

p4 edit -t +x file.csh
p4 submit

The -t option for edit (or add) sets the file type. If your
Perforce version is recent, then partial file types are allowed,
otherwise use text+x in this case.

You may also want to look at the typemap command for setting up
default file types.
