If by program you mean OS, your available options depends on your OS. If you have a PC (aka Windows), you can install Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and other Linux OSs to run alongside Windows. If you have a Mac, you can install Windows and Linux. Virtual Machine software allows you to do this without rebooting your computer to change the OS. There are many different applications that can let you do this. Some you have to pay for, like Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion. There are also open source (free) ones, like Oracle VirtualBox.

A couple scenarios:

Install Windows on a Mac: You can use Boot Camp, a preinstalled application that walks you through the installation process. You can also use any of the VM apps listed above.

Install Ubuntu on a PC: You can use the Wubi installer provided with all versions of Ubuntu when you download them in the related link, or you can use a VM app.

Install Ubuntu on a Mac: You cannot use the Wubi on a Mac, you will need to create a bootable USB drive (steps in the related link). You can also run Ubuntu as a VM.
