a) Buy a Snow Leopard upgrade DVD (one of the white ones, not a grey original install disk. The grey ones are locked to the specific models they shipped with).

b) Have a friend with a 2007-2014 Mac burn a USB installer for you (Yosemite or El Capitan).

If you need an OS newer than 10.11 you will need a newer Mac.
