Improving Page Rank - From 0 to 4 and Higher ?

We have a small forum, which is about 8 months old and have an Alexa rank of around 10,000,00 and a page rank of 0.

I would like to know if there is a step by step procedure that will lead to increase in its page rank from 0 to 4 and higher. If yes, then pls let me know it and also that how much time should it take to achieve such a rank.

I am looking white hat methods.

Thanks,
