This should work -

str = text.sourceText;
bullet = str.split("\r");
numBullets = bullet.length;
newStr = "";
for(i = 1; i < numBullets; i++) {
bullet[i] = "• " + bullet[i];
newStr = newStr + bullet[i] + "\r";
}
str.split("\r")[0] + "\r" + newStr

AE doesn't support any specific list formatting. You have to manualyl construct it from multiple text layers and/ or using lots of spaces and custom kerning.
