For the book class, write
\frontmatter
(in latex mode) at the beginning of the document, and
\mainmatter
before the 1st chapter.
If you are using a class for which the above doesn't work, use
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}
to change to Roman numbering, and
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}}
to switch to normal numbering.
