In a sense, we have already done this: the two Voyager missions (Voyager 1 and Voyager 2) from the late 1970s and early 1980s have unmanned interstellar probes that are both now slowly leaving our solar system and will travel close to other star systems; Voyager 1 and 2 will be the first man-made objects to leave our solar system, which will happen in the next 4-5 years.

Voyager 1 is not aimed at a particular star, but within 40,000 years it will be about 1.5 light years from a star called AC+79 3888.

Voyager 2 is also not aimed at a particular star, but in about 300,000 years it will be about 1.3 parsecs from Sirius, the North Star.

As you can see, it takes a long time for space vehicles to travel to other stars. Currently, we don't have the technology as you may have seen in Star Wars or Star Trek to travel faster to other stars, or to travel faster than the speed of light, but perhaps one day we will have this technology.
