How do you install a 110v receptacle from a 3 phase breaker box if there are no neutrals in the breaker box?

If there is no neutral available you cannot, unless you use an autotransformer and derive a neutral. A panel with no neutral is called a power panel and is used to supply 240 single and three phase loads.

How do you convert 230v to 208 volts single phase?

A source of 208 volts can be obtained from any two legs of a three phase four wire 208 volt system. The two legs are classed as single phase 208 volts. The lead tags can be L1-L2, L2-L3, or L3-L1 all of which will give you 208 volts. Any of these lead tags to the grounded star point (wye) will give you 120 volts.
