 * You can’t, that’s a web server configuration option outside of WordPress.
 * Depending on your host setup you may be able to do that in your host control 
   panel.

 * It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish using SSL.
 * If you want to ensure data privacy while you are administering or logging into
   your WordPress installation, then a self-signed SSL certificate is free and should
   be enough for administration.
 * Once you have that SSL cert installed on your website then you set some options
   in your `wp-config.php` (make a backup copy first) and you will be securing your
   credentials.

 * Or use a popular plugin such as this one.

 * If you plan to use your installation for ecommerce, then I think a certificate
   from a trusted SSL provider would be a better idea. Of course those are not free,
   but they’re considered to be more appropriate and will work with any browser 
   today.
