Lean forward to reduce the weight and traction on the rear wheel, then brace your legs when pedal under your strongest foot/leg is pointing straight back. This should cause the rear wheel to break loose from the surface and start to skid.

Why do hipsters put stuff in the back tires of their fixie bikes?
Question is a bit vague, but it probably has to do with the braking characteristics of fixies. A common way of braking a fixie is by making the rear wheel skid. Getting the skid is easisest when you have the cranks more or less horizontal, and may people prefer a certain foot forward as well. This means that the wheel will lock up in a limited no of positions, and in these places the tire develops skid patches. By stuffing something into the tire as a liner on these places one can avoid flats and increase the useful life of the tire.

If a bike has semi-horizontal dropouts can it be turn into a fixie?
Any bike can be turned into a fixie, at varying degrees of difficulty. But if the rear wheel can be moved back & forth to adjust chain tension it'll be so much easier.
