Well, there's classic Mac OS (Mac OS 1 -> Mac OS 9), and then there's Mac OS X (Mac OS 10.0 -> Mac OS 10.6 (to be released in 2 days)).
If you're wondering what kind of editions there are, like how Windows has Basic, Premium, Ultimate, etc, there are two: Client and Server. Client is what is usually used, but Server is if you need to do special internet related activities, such as hosting a website.
Client is $129 (Leopard)
Server is $1000, I believe (Leopard)
Again, Client is the primary version (it is often just referred to as Mac OS X, not Mac OS X Client), and Server is strictly for computers that need server-like capabilities, so it is often regarded. Many people will say that there is only one version of Mac OS X, referring to Mac OS X Client.

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.
