How to change the Administrator status

How can I change the status of administrator on my Vista laptop?  I want Uninstal programs that I suspect even cause problems, but he says that I don't have Administrator status and contact the system administrator.

Only administrator or user with the admin password are able to install or uninstall programs.

If none of the above applies to you, you can't do what you wanted.
