You can't if you want to have a rating. It wouldn't be fair.

However, you can play white in unrated games against the computer.

You can also create an unrated custom challenge where you get white.   You might have to wait a while to get that matched up, however.

 You can make a challenge with those parameters on the live chess, however its going to take a lot of time for someone to accept that, also you are not going to be getting practice with the black pieces so if in a real tournament you get the black pieces you are going to suffer

Someone has just created a challenges. Standard - Rated-you play as black.  So it is true that this is an option however i cant do it anyhow.

Post a screenshot here. I am surprised.

All such things should be sent to support@chess.com.

I posted your picture on the beta forum and people are saying that this has always been an option for daily games set up through open challenges.  I thought it could only be done for unrated games.

Once you have chosen a bot to play against there are two options you can change before selecting play, one is the mode (the one with the crowns) and above the mode section, there is the option which says, 'I play as,' this lets you choose your colour against a bot
