I think you should just try to get better. You need to be really good to get CM (2200 FIDE I think) and your rating on here is 1700.
How to get titles like FM, IM, NM, GM
Sort:
Bribery?
You could try buying a title, I've heard of that working in the past.
PLay fide rated tournaments. I think thats the only way!
You can also become a BM (Bongcloud Master).

what the others (except ivandh and powerlevel) is true. you need to improve your rating to 2000 fide or 2200 USCF.
CM = Candidate Master. 2000-2199 USCF. USCF promoted this title years ago instead of Expert, but it never caught on.
FM = FIDE Master. Honorary title given masters for scoring well per FIDE guidelines . For me, back in the 80's, I had to score over 60% against title players in three separate events, facing a minimum of titled player in each event. The events had to be within a couple years. I played in a couple round robin events in Minneapolis, and I played in two Midwest Masters in Chicago.
IM = International Master. Same as FM but the performance requirements are tougher. (I have an ICCF IM title where I had to score well but in correspondence chess. Somewhat the same.)
GM = Grandmaster. Requires a higher rating (> 2400 maybe >2450) and with yet even tougher performance requirements.
Larry Kaufman got his GM title by winning the World Senior Chess Championship, so there are exceptions in how one can obtain a title. But usually it takes playing in several events of the right type, and then scoring well.

That is the answer than i was looking for, thanks a lot FM Drawyah ! 
A very complete answer.
You can buy a CM title? Like publically? Ivandh said bribery, but that's frowned upon...
Actually, the bribery route is pretty common in the chess world. Not with the USCF or FIDE, but the title "National Master" can be bought for a price. Just find some small, pliable, third-world country where chess is not much of a tradition (think Liberia or the Cote d'Ivoire) and bribe some minister to charter a national chess federation there "modelled" on the USCF but native to that particular nation. Then for a price they will award you a "National Master" title. It's really no different than buying into the English peerage.
In order to be a CM, you have to be a ceramic maker.

I do not believe in that stuff, besides that the comment seems such offensive and unpleasant. The Drawyah FM response is the one I was looking for, and do not need to hear more, thank you very much to all.

I thought GM required 2500.
You're from Mexico. That's one of the countries in which you could probably pull this scheme off!
