This is an interesting question. Unfortunately, and I do apologize, I'm not entirely sure what you're asking.
Do you mean that you'd like your digital camera to work similar to a webcam where, after it is connected, you can take single shots which will be saved to your hard drive? If not, please clarify your question a bit further.
If I understand you correctly, try this:
When you install the driver for your camera, an icon for it usually appears in your computer's control panel, or as a separate drive. With my webcam, I can right-click on its icon in the control panel and access its properties. When the properties dialog box opens, I can click on a button to take a single shot.
I do know that not all digital cameras can be used as webcams. Contact the technical support department of the company who manufactured your camera to find out if your model has that capability.
