A PowerPC G4 or G5 can't be upgraded past 10.5.8. If you're trying to install an application and not a newer Mac OS X version, check its system requirements and use the original disk or download.

You can if you want and the computer meets the system requirements for them. Nothing from the Mac App Store will run on 10.5.8.
