You can't. You must unmount. You should be able to do this from
single user mode if the file system cannot be unmounted under multiuser
mode (eg /usr, /var, etc.). Usually other mount points can be
unmounted, but depends on what is running on the system at the time.
Unmounting /home would require that you kick all users off for example,
unmounting /var/www would require stopping apache, etc.
