OS X does not support trim, so I'm not sure what jrnkntl is talking about.

How do you ask Disk Utility to call TRIM?

You can't.

Does writing 0's over every free block actually have the same effect?

No. (We might like it to, but apparently SSDs don't actually look at the data they're storing and thus it would cost more for them to detect zeros.)
