You can't.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

The app "Find my iPhone" is irrelevant. There is a setting (under the "Settings" icon") also called "Find my iPhone" which needs to be enabled. Sadly confusing, I'm afraid. If this has not been enabled, there is no high-tech means of finding the phone.
Unless find my phone is enabled on your phone like tonefox said, you can't. What you can do is report it stolen to apple and if someone tries to sell it, it'll be blacklisted (I believe that's the word) and that'll prevent the next person from being able to use it. It will essentially become a paperweight for them but nothing you can do without that feature turned on unfortunately.
