You can't. From mke2fs
-i bytes-per-inode
Specify the bytes/inode ratio. mke2fs creates an inode for every
bytes-per-inode bytes of space on the disk. The larger the
bytes-per-inode ratio, the fewer inodes will be created. This
value generally shouldn't be smaller than the block- size of the
filesystem, since then too many inodes will be made. Be warned
that is not possible to expand the number of inodes on a
filesystem after it is created, so be careful deciding the correct
value for this parameter.
So you need to move the data somewhere and re-format.
