You would need to create a switch loop by running new wiring from the existing junction box down to a new switch box in the desired location.
Is this in a finished area?
I might also suggest that you pick up the book "Wiring Simplified" so you can get some ideas of what you are attempting to tackle.

Yes it is in th entrance hallway leading to the 2nd floor the house is really old and the person who had it before never fixed anything. We will pick up the book that you requested and thanks for your help. It sounds like I am better off just hiring and electrician to do it for me though I was just trying to save some
Thanks for the advise
