You have to pull a new wire. There is no way to do it with the existing wire, at least no way you should do it and be in code.

How does a single pole switch differ from a three way?
A proper "3-way switch" would be capable of being switched to 3 different positions and could have one, two or more poles. Each pole could be either single- or double-throw."How does a single pole switch differ from a three way?" is a trick question often asked to catch-out new trainee electricians because the common but mis-named "three-way switch" is actually a single pole, double throw switch, i.e. it is only a 2-way switch, not a 3-way switch.A pair of "3-terminal, single pole, double throw" switches are often used to hook-up two separate light switches to control one light or one set of lights.The same answer put in a different wayDespite the fact that the name "3-way switch" is often used to describe it, if it is of the type that has just one pole that can only be physically switched 2 ways, the name "3-way switch" is quite wrong for that particular switch. A "3-terminal, single pole, double throw" switch" is a more accurate description for it.
Do ceiling fans have timers that turn the lights off after a certain period of time?
Not usually, The light would have had to been wired with a three wire from the switch to the fan. One circuit to control the fan and the other switch to control the light. If this is your situation then all you will have to do is change the light switch to a timer and that will do what you want.
Why is a 3-way switch classified as a single pole switch?
Yes. A center point switches to either one side of the switch or the other. Just use the center and either of the other contacts. Leave one switch terminal unconnected. If you can't figure out which is the center switch point you have a 2 in 3 chance of getting it right and if the switch doesn't work you picked the one wrong choice. It will still be a single pole but a 3 way will work. I believe you should use the connections that are on the same side. The incoming and the 3 way on the same side. Does that make sense? <<>> Yes you can, just make the connection between the two screws that are of different colours. When you re-install the switch make sure that the positioning of the switch is, toggle up for on and toggle down for off as there is no dot on the toggle handle to let you know the on position.
How do you wire a 220 volts light?
The light is wired the same as any voltage fixture. Bring the source voltage to the fixture and connect it to the two fixture wires. If you want to control the off-on of the fixture take the source voltage to a switch first and then out of the switch to the light fixture.
