You don't. Do it in post.

If you have a 100a you can turn the view finder to black and white, and then like kai said, desaturate in post.

Yeah, really... don't worry about making it black and white in camera... you can always take out colour after the fact but you can't add colour

As long as you've lit the scene for being Black and White, it'll be perfectly fine to desaturate in post.

The only problem comes from when the value in the scene is not light and dark, but from colour...

A lot of colour footage looks pretty bland when converted to black and whit without original intent.... Just make sure to keep your brights bright and your darks dark! Contrast and value in your shot is key...then it'll look great

Good point Mike, that's why if you have a 100a I mentioned that you can set the viewfinder to B&W. I think that is something that is sorely missed in the 100.
