You can't. But you can cancel a message in you mean posting in a newsgroup.
This is wath the OE help says about it;
To cancel a posted message

1.. In the Folders list, select the newsgroup in which you posted the
message, and then select your message.
2.. On the Message menu, click Cancel Message.
Notes

a.. You can only cancel messages that you posted.
b.. After you cancel a message, it may take some time for it to be removed
from your server and other servers on the Internet. Canceling a message does
not remove it from another user's computer if the user downloaded the
message before it was canceled.

Please note that you are in the wrong forum as well. In the future post
messages reagrding Outlook Express in an Outlook Express forum. This is an
Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Here is the link for the right forum
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer

Good Luck!
 
Alas, not possible at all in Outlook Express - possible .0001% of the time
in Outlook with Exchange.

Note also -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
