Dear Marek, you can find matrices for 2.Co1 here: http://brauer.maths.qmul.ac.uk/Atlas/spor/Co1/gap0/2Co1G1-Zr24B0.g as a subgroup of SL(24,Z). To find the form F that is invariant under the group, you can, for instance, solve an obvious system of linear equations g_i F=F (g_i^T)^-1, with i=1,2.
Note that Co1 itself does not have a 24-dimensional faithful representation in characteristic 0. The minimal degree of such a representation is 276.
