You need two separate switches. You can get two switches that are in the same form factor as a single switch (2 gang switch). You use one switch for the outlet and the other for the light. You switch the black wires which are "hot".

How do you add an elecrtric recepticle to a on off switch.?
Warning: This is NOT a detailed tutorial but rather an overview of the concept that omits any mention of basic electrical safety procedures or any existing wiring alternatives or obstacles you might encounter. If you are not familiar with electrical code and permits, do not attempt this. Split the hot/black wire and put the side coming from your service panel on the top lug of the switch, and the wire going to the receptacle on the bottom lug. Don't forget to connect your ground to the switch. Depending on your application this may not be legal under the current electrical code.

How do you disconnect a light switch and outlet that are tied together?
If there is a black wire going from the outlet to the switch and the other side of the switch goes back to the outlet then just cut these wires and connect supply wire directly to outlet. If the supply goes to the switch first, disconnect from switch and connect the two wires with a wire-nut. Some situations only switch one of the two outlets in a duplex device. Do the same thing, but also replace the outlet since the strapping between both outlets has been removed.
