How can you run mac system 1 on a MacBook Pro?

What is meant by "System I" is not clear.

Here is a list of Apple systems:

1976-77, System Monitor

1977-93, Apple DOS, Apple Pascal, ProDOS

1980-84, SOS, Apple Pascal

1983-85, Lisa OS, SCO Xenix

1984-2012, (Macintosh Systems using 68K, PowerPC, and x86 CPUs)

1986-92, ProDOS 16, System 1.x to System 6.x using 16 bit CPUs in the Apple IIgs

1991-93, TechStep, a handheld diagnostic tool.

1993-98, Newton OS for the handheld Newton PDA and eMate clamshell pc

1995-97, Pippin OS for the Pippin multimedia entertainment system

1996-1997, IBM AIX in the Apple Network Server

2007-2012, iOS: There have been 6 version of iOS not counting .x versions in the iPhone and other i-devices

System I goes back to 1986. It ran on PowerPC chips. To run programs from that era you need a PowerPC emulator. Applications from that era ran on systems from I to 9. Most games that would run on their current era OS might not work on other era OSs. So an application that was to run on system 7, would probably not run on system 1, but applications for system 5 might run on system 7. So, to emulate System 1, a specific set of variables must be matched which link the exact application to the systems it would run on. This is not a simple task.

Better questions might be "How can system ### be emulated by system ###," or "Which emulator do I need to run application XYZ on OSX 10.8.2?"

Search the web for emulators that meet your goals. As OSX improves, it outruns emulators designed for earlier systems. For very old emulators of System 1, there is only a tiny user base of hobbyists. In all probability, these emulators won't run on the latest OSX versions.
