If you are scanning it off your scanner, increase the resolution. The higher the dpi, the larger you'll be able to enlarge it.
Example: if you scan a 4x6 photo at 600 dpi, you can print an 8x10 picture with good resolution.

I can't really explain this in technical terms but though some programs have tools to manipulate the photo and "fine-tune" it, the picture is what it is. Sometimes you only have so much to work with. You can fine tune with some programs but it will only do so much. Are you using a certain program or did you take the photo to one of the automated places? Kinko's has a machine which is better than the photo program I used to have. I would just take it to the place that has the best machine and just stop the enlarging when the picture becomes too blurry.
Hopefully someone will have a better idea than I did.

You really can't
The original file only has so much information to work with.
if you have a picture that is let say 5 pixels by 5 pixels
and enlarge it to 25 pixels by 25 pixels..
you still only have the original 5 pixels of data to work with.
You can try using filters such as found in photo-shop to "sharpen" the image.

You may need to download a photo editing program like Adobe Photoshop CS2 from: http://filehippo.com/download/8258080e7015f01022108485b1b8a724/download/
And you can edit the size with Ctrl+T.

If it is off the Internet then find a larger version of the photo. If it is of your camera then I don't know.
