Talk to your doctor. If it's more than 6 or 7 days, it could be something like a fibroid causing it.

Do you mean in one month only because of an upcoming event, or do you mean permanently? Birth-control pills would do the latter.
It is possible to force a period to come on by taking progesterone and the stopping, but I don't think that would shorten the period length unless you began taking the progesterone the first day after your last period ended. You'd have to talk to your doctor about that.
