Sorry, but you can't - and there really is no need to do so.

The Intel Graphics drivers will dynamically allocate (and deallocate) memory, as VRAM, based upon current needs. Up to 50% of the available memory will be allocated during peak demand periods.

Some older games may misinterpret the numbers read and indicate that there is not enough VRAM available. THIS IS A BUG IN THESE GAMES! You will need to talk to the game designers to get a fix for this bug.

Reality bites,
