Balancing Equation Help

It's not possible, as the right hand of the equation must include enough oxygen atoms to equal those that exist in the left side of the equation.  I suspect that you have either provided a false equivalency or have neglected something.  It could be the case that 2CO + O2 -> 2CO2   This equation is balanced because there are equal numbers of C atoms and O atoms on either side, namely 2 Carbon atoms and 4 Oxygen atoms.
