  Your camera, in case you haven't noticed, does not have interchangeable lenses, so you cannot take off the lens you have, and put a macro lens on it. The best you can do is screw in a quality closeup diopter. You can buy these in sets of three pretty cheap, but the image quality can still be ok. You'll need to know the filter size your lens accepts, then try to buy the diopters in that size. If they are unavailable in that size, you will also need to buy a step-up adapter ring, and buy the next size up diopter.
These are fun to work with, and will open up the world of macro to you without a large financial investment.
