I don't think its possible.

Why would you even want to do that anyway?

Vista isn't bad as people say.  Vista was made back when people who used XP thought they knew how to use computers and dove right in acting like they knew everything.

Because my built-in microphone does not work with Windows 7.

It would be better for you to just buy a new mic lol

It's built-in.
I believe there's no way to change it, unless changing my whole computer.

Check drivers?

so
get a new microphone
having an unsupported mic does not justify downgrading your OS

Get drivers from your laptop/desktop manufacturer.
Chances are, if the driver works for 7, it works for Vista. Just look for the vista version first.

You should still be able to disable it whether it's built in or not. And a new mic wouldn't care about it regardless, you just have to set it up properly.

I am asking if there's a way to downgrade my computer without losing files, not asking you if I should buy a new microphone.
And I don't have my own money, and I don't own a golden egg chicken.

yes.. sure. I am thinking about getting a technique to help me with this because I don't want a microphone that's not built-in, and have to approach my mouth to the microphone to talk. It looks ridiculous, specially when video-chatting.

Burn gparted to a CD, pop it in, and shrink your W7 partition by at least 10 gigs. Insert Vista CD and install it to the unallocated space. Use easybcd to add W7 to the boot menu.

This is called dual-booting. This way you'll be able to use either OS.
