Don't think you can :(. But if you do, it's going to be tiny. Open it in photoshop, then copy it. Go to file - > new. On the pop up that comes up there's a setting somewhere that says "72 dpi" or something similar. Change that to 300. That's it :)

Thank you! :) Will that ruin the quality of the image?

It will make the image very tiny. Since you're compressing it from what was probably 72 to 300.

The trick is to start at 300DPI. You do this by scanning in it at a high resolution. Once your image is a low resolution, it's hard to increase it without significantly altering the size. It really all depends on what your doing with the image and what your source materials were..
