You can't. The last year for wheat pennies was 1958. 1959 was the first year for Lincoln Memorial pennies. These can sometimes still be found in change; you get one in better condition from a dealer for a quarter or so.

FWIW, there is an unconfirmed "mule" cent with a 1959 front and 1958 back. This error coin, if it exists, would be quite valuable because it would be the only known 1959 wheat cent.
