The only way copper metal and HCl will react is to use concentrated HCl, and add CuCl2. A reverse disproportionation reaction will occur, forming (eventually) copper(I) chloride, which is probably not what you are looking for.

1. grind up the copper to smaller granules to increase the surface area for reaction to take place.
2. warm the reaction up
3. increase the molarity of the acid
4. use a catalyst to lower the activation energy of the reaction.

If you're talking about solid copper metal, increase the surface area available for reaction (i.e. grind it into powder first).

add some heat, or add stronger HCL.

Even if you heat up this reaction it will not ocurr. Read please the answer given in your previous question.
Also you can see for yourself the experiment:

Heat it up (carefully)!
