You need a third party application. I recommend the freeware QuickResNT:
http://sunlightd.virtualave.net/Projects/QuickResNT/QuickResNT.exe
This clone of the free Windows PowerToy QuickRes does everything the
original does - sit in the System Tray and let you dynamically change screen
resolution and color depth with a click - and more (e.g., change screen
refresh rate). By David McCabe on Sunlight

Another good one is 1st QuickRes Light:

Comes in a "Pro" version, and the freeware version linked here (confusingly
marked "trial" version). Besides allowing you to dynamically change screen
resolution and color depth with a click, it has additional features not
found in QuickRes NT, though I've found it to slightly misbehave. From Green
Parrots Software (http://www.greenparrots.com/).
