You can't natively. Options though:

Use a validator to refuse entry of more than one (there are several plugins on the marketplace that can provide that validator). I'd avoid that one, as it's ugly for the users
Hack the "edit" field template for component so that it is only single select. Neat, but you have to maintain it in upgrades etc
Use the Script-Runner Behaviour plugin to amend the field type
Write your own javascript to amend the field type.

I'm not averse to option 2 if you need a global change, but it does add testing burden to your upgrades. Option 3 is probably the best one.
