@nsitf you cannot for as long as the phone does not come on. You could try and disassemble it and clean it with +90% isopropyl alcohol according to this guide Repairing iPhone Liquid Damage It was written for an Apple iPhone but all the points are still pertinent to your phone as well. Replace the battery after. In the meantime, you do not want to try to charge, turn-on or sync your phone since that could cause more problems. If unsure about any of this, you could consider having an expert like @refectio ,who specializes in damage like yours, take a look at it.

It's harder for phones like this because there is so little technical information available (schematics, boardview). However, a good cleaning may be enough to get the data off.
