Memory allocation is a housekeeping function of the structure of the program (how it is written and memory is allocated). You can 'reallocate' more memory to a running program or compiled binary.... at least I've never heard of a way to do it!

You can rewrite the program to allocation more memory, however, if you have access to the source code..... try taking a look at the malloc man page.
