You cannot without erasing your hard drive and installing Mac OS 9 from scratch. Even then Mac OS 9 may not run on modern Mac hardware because Mac OS 9 needs the ROM chip to boot. Modern Mac OS X hardware uses EFI to boot the system instead of a ROM chip to boot. Mac OS X v10.0 - Mac OS X v10.4 support Mac OS 9 applications and can run them, you just need to install the Mac OS 9 compatibility program which can be found on the Mac OS X Install CD.

Mac OS 9 software requires Mac OS 9, which was discontinued in 2002, to work. Early versions of Mac OS X came with Mac OS 9 included (referred to as Classic mode) which could be activated from System Preferences. The latest versions of Mac OS X no longer support Classic mode. It will depend upon your specific Mac model whether a version of Mac OS 9 can be persuaded to work.
