I'm not sure if you can, but it wouldn't make any sense if you did.
These are the recommended cards for dual graphics: http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/dual-graphics#desktop
This is how the R7 265 fares against the recommended HD 6570: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-265-vs-Radeon-HD-6570
If you enabled dual graphics, you might actually get worse performance than if you just used the R7 265 on its own.

Why would I get worse performance? Sorry I am a noob when It comes to graphics cards and crossfire

When two cards (or one APU and a single GPU) are used in crossfire, the faster one is slowed down to match the slower one.
It seems that in this case the slower one would be over two times slower than the R7 265, making the configuration slower than it would be without crossfire/dual graphics. Not to mention all the issues crossfire has, like stuttering and bad compatibility with some games.
