Call 1-800-MY-APPLE, buy the disk.
Make a backup in case the upgrade goes wrong.
Use the disk to upgrade.
Assuming you have an Intel processor and 1 GB RAM.
Phone the Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, then run Software Update.

You will either need to contact Apple and purchase a copy of Snow Leopard from them or see if you can find an online retailer who still has them in stock (Snow Leopard is a bit dated, so it may be difficult to find from anyone other than Apple). There is no option to download 10.6 (Snow Leopard) from Apple.
If u have 2nd mac that is 10.6.8 u can do it easily
This process should work as described but the restoration process could fail with an error. You can overcome this by first mounting the InstallESD.dmg file and then using the mounted volume as the Source for the restoration, instead of the disk image file itself.If restoring the InstallESD.dmg file directly does not work, then first mount it and restore the "Mac OS X Install ESD" volume that appears (click for larger view).(Credit: Screenshot by Topher Kessler/CNET)
To do this, first select the InstallESD.dmg file in the Disk Utility sidebar and click the Open button in the Disk Utility toolbar. When mounted, you will see a volume name appear called "Mac OS X Install ESD" underneath the image file. In the Restore tab in Disk Utility, drag this new volume to the Source field, and then repeat step 8 above to restore it to your drive of choice (special thanks to MacFixIt reader Michael A. for this tip).
When Disk Utility creates the drive in this manner, all files on it will be erased and replaced with the restored data; however, if you initially partitioned the drive (see step 6 above), then you can still use the drive's secondary volume for other purposes in addition to being a Mountain Lion install source.
