Depends on what hub you have, and how you want to do the change. If your current hub has a multi-speed freewheel you will need a freewheel puller. If your current hub is a freehub you will need a chain whip and a lockring tool. If your current hub is an IGH, all you need to do is to unhook your shifter cable.

Can you use a 3 sproket crankset with a single speed hub?

They're usually calle chainwheels or chainrings at the crank, not sprockets. And yes, you can use them with a single-speed hub. Odds are though that the chain won't line up very well unless you go for the middle ring. And of course if you want to shift between them you still need a rear derailer to take up the chain slack.

How do you change a mountain bike to have one gear?

Depends on what type of rear hub, and what kind of dropouts you have. Most bikes these days have vertical dropouts AKA slots where you mount the wheel axle. This means you have to keep the derailer to provide chain tension. If you have a freewheel hub, then just unscrew the multi-speed freewheel, and stick a single-speed on there. With a bit of luck you get the chain line good enough so that it is immediately rideable. If you have a cassette rear hub, buy a "single speed conversion kit". Remove your cassette, pull it apart. Pick out the sprocket of your choice, figure out where to put it to get an OK chain line. Add the spacer(s) and reassemble. Again, you need to keep the rear derailer as a chain tensioner(or buy a separate chain tensioner). Lock it in place either with the adjustment screws, or with a short length of shifter cable.
