The simple answer is you can't. A DVD-r is physically different from a CD. You can use it in many ways like a CD, but in the end, it is not a CD, and you will only be able to use it in a DVD drive or player, regardless of what you do to it. They are apples and Oranges. Both edible, but not really comparable beyond that.
