You cannot.

No PPC Mac can run beyond Leopard 10.5.8.

Buy an Intel Mac if you want Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion.

I'm taking the machine back to 10.4 tonight. Cloned the current hard drive just in case something goes wrong!

System now restored bacxk to 10.4. Only a couple of apps had to be reinstalled (iwork, iLife, etc.). It is a different machine now!

If the OP is still reading, I'd keep the machine at 10.4.11.
