A liter is a measure of volume. A gram is a measure of mass. Therefore, your question is, in general, unanswerable. It would be like asking "How many feet are in a bushel?" However, if you were to designate a particular substance, you would be able to determine the volume of a given mass of that substance. In particular, water is the basis for comparison of metric units. Specifically, the term "gram" was defined as the mass of 1 milliter of water, at a certain pressure and temperature. Fortunately, this relationship holds pretty close to 1 gram per milliliter over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. And therefore, we can say, within a small margin of error, that .4 grams of water has a volume of .4 milliliters, or .0004 liters. For any other substance, you could determine the volume of 0.4 grams by dividing by the specific gravity of that substance.
