It depends on what you're talking about, exactly.

A programmer can make a program run faster by optimizing it. This is an entire field of study, so I can't really give you simple instructions. Get a BS in computer science, and you'll have the beginnings of an understanding of this.

An end user is more limited. He can run the program on a faster computer. If the system is paging, increasing the amount of system memory may help. For graphics-intensive programs like games, getting a better graphics card will usually help. If the user can restrict or eliminate other programs running at the same time, that can also help... I used to run jobs late at night when I was in graduate school just because fewer people were trying to use the computer then.
