Do you mean:
1) How to make your user the administrator?
or
2) How to run programs (etc.) as an administrator?

1-If you own the computer/don't need to ask the administrator's permission to make your account an administrator, press the key combination Win+X. Click "Control Panel" then click on "User Accounts and Family Safety," and under "User Accounts" you should see "Change account type." It will then list all the Users on that computer. Click yours then click "Change account type" in the next menu. It should be self explanatory from there.

2-If you need to run a program with Administrative permissions, check out this link: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/9564-run-administrator-windows-8-a.html
It describes the process more thoroughly than I can with text directions. It's pretty straightforward though.

I hope that helps!
