You can't. Otherwise it wouldn't be an ordinary HTML button.

You could fake it with a scripted graphic element, but why bother? You'll
only end up making your site frustrating and/or unusable. What you're
proposing is about as logical as making scrollbars that behave like pop-up
menus.

If you want something that behaves like a checkbox, then use a checkbox.
