If you are a visa national - ie you need a visa to enter - then you need to leave and re-apply to enter with a new visa on account of the "no-switching" policy.

Visitors (INF 2) (17/01/07) - Can I study in the UK?
As a visitor, you can study during your stay. You can only apply to stay longer than six months if you entered the UK with a student or prospective student visa. You can get more information from the Students (INF 5) guidance on this website. (link 1 below). Not sure about being able to apply for a Student Visa whilst in the UK, as the terms of the Visa state you must return to your country when the visa expires. This site should give you either the info or the contacts you will need.
2nd weblink below: To obtain a Student Visa you must be able to show that you have been accepted on a course of study at an educational establishment that is on the UK's Department for Education and Skills (DfES) Register of Education and Training Providers. Contact details are under 'More advice and information' at the end of this guidance.
You must be able to show that you are going to follow:
a recognised full-time degree course, or
a course run during the week involving at least 15 hours of organised daytime study each week, or
a full-time course at an independent fee-paying school
You must also:
be able to pay for your course and support yourself and any dependants, and live in the UK without working or needing any help from public funds,
be able and intend to follow your chosen course, and
intend to leave the UK when you complete your studies.

I believe that you may have to apply for a Student Visa in your own country (but check with the British Embassy). I don't think that visas are 'transferable'. That is, if you are in the UK on a holiday visa, you can't simply turn it into a student visa.
To come to the UK as a student you will have to produce the following documents
* A passport
* A letter of unconditional acceptance for a full-time course
* Evidence of your ability to meet, without working in the UK, the costs of your course, accommodation and maintenance and to support any dependants accompanying you.
Student visas are normally granted for an initial period of one year, usually determined by the length of the course to be studied.
I have put some useful links below. Hope that helps!

You have to apply in your country of residence for a student visa.
Also, you need to find the school u want, enroll in it, and with that evidence(payment, etc.), you apply for the student visa.
The reason u need to be in your country of residence is that u will be without your passport for some time since you need to send it to the British Embassy in your state, so they can attach whatever document(visa) that is necessary in your passport.
