You can't install Windows 98 "on" Vista - they're both Operating Systems. To
take you literally, yes, you *can* remove Vista from your machine and
install Win98 on to it - if you really want to do all that just to play some
games. But then Vista would be gone - and you'd need to reinstall it to have
it back, or be stuck with Win98. And you'd need to do a chunk of reading up
on the subject to be successful.
Alternatively, you could do some research on Compatibility Mode
(

which is perhaps more in line with what you're after; on dual-booting (where
you can choose whether to let your computer boot to Windows 98 or to Vista
as it starts up); and on Virtual Machines (which is perhaps the closest to
installing Windows 98 "on" Vista). The last two would also require a fair
bit of boning up by you - I'd start with Compatibility Mode.
Linear Mode
