how do i get basic stamp program to run on my google notebook

Realistically you can't. The simple explanation is that the Chrome OS is built on Linux while the Stamp Editor is a Windows program. There are libraries (the Stamp tokenizer) available for the MacOS and Linux that do the compiling of Stamp programs, but these are Intel-only binaries and won't run on ARM hardware which is used on many cheap Chrome netbooks. If you're very experienced in programming for Linux and Chrome OS, you could probably get these to work on Intel hardware, but there's no support available to help.

AJ Milne is working on an open-source Stamp compiler called [a=http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/157846]pbtc[/a] that should work on Chromebooks when it's finished. I haven't used it, but from what I can tell it mostly works but it doesn't understand standard PBASIC yet - his version needs semicolons and curly brackets, like how C does. I assume he's eventually going to make it support normal PBASIC.
