Bicarbonate of soda and baking powder are two different ingredients, so it is not possible to make bicarbonate of soda with baking powder. However, baking powder usually contains bicarbonate of soda as one of its components, along with an acid. When baking powder is mixed with a liquid, it produces carbon dioxide, which causes the dough or batter to rise. If you need bicarbonate of soda and only have baking powder, you can use three times the amount of baking powder to replace the required amount of bicarbonate of soda.
