You can't.

But what are you trying to do? Usually if you have lots of tasks and 
need to manage their storage you put the larger objects on the heap. I'd 
be interested in seeing what you are doing, if you do need different 
stack sizes for some reason.

Some implementations may have a local heap for each task, but if your 
implementation does, then you can create storage pools that are program 
wide.  However, I usually find that when I am creating large objects in 
tasks, they have to be on the system heap, since the type outlasts the task.
