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.
