How can i do this?

There is, unhappily, no quick and easy way to do this. You will need to create your own function for generating the archive display.

If I were you I'd find the wp_get_archives() function in the core and copy it into your functions.php file with your own function name, and hack around with it there to get the display the way you want it.

If your theme is widget-ready, you can simply drop the Archives widget on your sidebar from the admin side.
