You fundamentally cannot do this HMRC does not allow this you can only charge Vat as a percentage of what is invoiced. Even if you discount the two items to zero no Vat will be charged its how Vat works.
However you can edit the Vat box to any figure you want but if seen HMRC will ask why so Memo it on the invoice as raised as to why.
