If you have compatible OS X installer disk for your computer, power on the Macbook, hold down ALT(option) key until you see the available partitions, then insert the disk and choose it.

You can do this with a Flash Drive as well as DVD. In this case first you have to download your OS's installer from the App Store. Here's a guide: How to make a bootable OS X 10.11 El Capitan installer drive

Before starting it, make sure you back up your data.
