I have purchased Mountain Lion for download on my iMac, but I am running an older version of OSX (10.5.8), so I do not have the MacApp Store application. How do I redeem and download this product?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Purchase and install Snow Leopard, and update it. You will then have the App Store and be able to redeem your download code.

Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store
Apple's price is $19.99 or £14.00 or 18,00 €. It is not available to download from any legitimate source (institutional / corporate deployments excepted).
You can't, you will need to buy the OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk from Apple and then ugrade to 10,6,8 to get the final release of the Mac App Store form Snow Leopard.
