You have to create an array of values:

ValueFactory valueFactory = session.getValueFactory();
Node node = session.getNode("/content/path/to/my/node");
Value[] values = new Value[3];
values[0] = valueFactory.createValue("First value");
values[1]  = valueFactory.createValue("Second value");
values[2] = valueFactory.createValue("Third value");
node.setProperty("propertyName", values);

alternatively, you may use a String array:

node.setProperty("propertyName", new String[] {"First value", "Second value", "Third value"});
