You cannot. Not directly in POV-Ray (see documentation: par. 3.1.2.4.1 of 
the downloaded docs; par. 2.1.2.4.1 of the online docs). Best is to convert 
your output image through PSP or Gimp or whatever painting program you use.

a lossy format) you can read about the options in the help file Section
3.1.2.4.1  Output File Type

The command line option is +Fx where x =
C  for Compressed Targa-24 format (RLE, run length encoded)
N  for PNG (portable network graphics) format
P  for Unix PPM format
S  for System-specific such as Mac Pict or Windows BMP
T  for Uncompressed Targa-24 format

Or you can add the line
Output_File_Type=x
to the povray.ini file found in Tools > Edit master povray.ini
