Just by asking this question that shows you are probably not quite ready to take on this particular task.
The safest answer anyone should give you is NO, leave it alone , don't even think of doing this!
You may or may not get lucky and receive some more information in an answer here!
If you hope to get enough information on this site to be able to do this job properly and safely, please do not rely on getting accurate information about such a potentially dangerous subject.
Really, don't do this one yourself. Electricity is far too dangerous to handle if you have not been trained how to do this work. If you put just one wire in the wrong place you risk being killed by electrocution or you could even start a house fire.
How to do this job depends entirely on the Wiring Codes or Regulations for the locality (Town/State) and on the exact location of the appliance you wish to install. If it is anywhere that is subject to water splashes or spray - such as in any room supplied with running water pipes, like a kitchen, bathroom, shower room, etc., or in a pool-side area - in many places nowadays it is actually illegal to attempt to do this kind of work unless you are already a licensed electrician.
If you don't want to go to your local library or bookstore - to find and read some books about electrical wiring and appliances and how to install them safely, and to find out about your local Wiring Codes and Regulations - then the best advice anyone should give to you is to call a licensed electrician either to do the job for you or to advise you what you may be allowed to do yourself.

The appliance needs a 240 Volt supply. The supply wiring described in this question could either be 120 Volt with ground or 240 Volt without neutral.
To allow the new appliance to be used safely it needs to be upgraded or replaced by a licensed electrician who would install new wiring and circuit breakers along with an outlet that would all comply with your local wiring codes. Call an electrician to do this job.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicator
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Why does a light turn when you place black to black and white to ground wire?
You don't say "turn off" or turn on". Light should be connected black to black and white to white and ground to ground.

Current on ground wire could cause ground loops and may cause GFCI to trip if you have them in your house.

Can you connect 2 wire to 3 wire house has black white red and ground Appliance has black white and ground?
It seems like you are describing the Red, Black, White and Ground in your electric panel. There is 240 VAC between Black and Red and 120 VAC between Black and White and 120 VAC between Red and White. The electric panel has two busses that supply 120 VAC on alternating breakers in your panel. Essentially, the Red turns into "black" in the panel for all practical purposes. If you have a 240 VAC circuit it essentially takes up to two vertical positions in your electric panel.

How do you wire a three wire 220v for dryer White to white but where does black and ground go?
If the cable you are trying to connect the dryer up to only has a white, black and ground wire, then the dryer is not going to work. The cable needs to be a three wire, the ground wire is never counted when discussing house wiring. Open up the electrical access panel on the back of the dryer. You will see a terminal block. A red and black and white connect to this terminal strip. The "hot" wires are connected to the outside terminals. The neutral (white) wire will be in the center. Connect the ground wire to the frame of the dryer. It is very important that this ground wire be connected as this is the wire that carries the fault current to trip the breaker should a fault arise.
