     Is there some way to instruct PCB to put a copper pad for

     I don't solder to the top side since it makes rework much harder.
     Sometimes the solder will travel down the lead and get to the
     top-side
     pad, (which never connects to anything) making it very hard to
     desolder.

   If you are etching and drilling your own boards you could place a pad
   with rounded edges on the top. Then place a pin with a pad diameter
   that is less than the diameter of the drill you plan to use.
