1. You need to upgrade to 10.8 and have a compatible Mac.
2. You can. Back up your data and buy it from the Mac App Store.

How can I backup my data ? ( steps )
And wats the name of the app ?
You need Bootcamp 5 and a supported Macbook Air model (2011 and later models) to install Windows 8. You need to be running atleast 10.8.3 to run Bootcamp 5.
You can update to ML via the App Store:
Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
See "Macbook Air" in :
Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems for more information.

You can only run Windows 7 on your Macbook Air.
Thanks so much
But I already bought windows 8 CD and can't return it and just updated my Mac to 10.8 ?
Any solution ?? Plz
Plz help me :(
See if you can return your windows 8 CD. Mountain Lion still supports windows 7, but so does Lion. I believe you have 72 hours to refund ML,http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ , if you wish to do so.
I did buy it from best buy and they said that they are not gonna return it once I open it :((
