Perhaps you can't. All apps are not available at all stores, as described in the following text, lifted from an online article:
There are quite a few good apps in the iTunes App store that, unfortunately, aren’t available to international users. For instance, if you are not located in the US, you cannot install the iBooks reading app from Apple on your iPhone, iPod Touch or the iPad because iBooks is currently only listed in the US iTunes store.
Similar is the story with Adobe Ideas (a sketching app), ABC Player (from ABC News) and Zinio (for reading magazines) – they are all brilliant apps that are completely free but you can’t add them to your iPhones or iPods if your iTunes account is linked to a country other than the United States.
You can see a listing of such apps in your iTunes store but the moment you hit the install button, it will pop-up a warning message saying “Your account is only valid for purchases in the [your country name here] iTunes store.”
There are some fairly complicated hoops to jump through in order to get access to free apps from another Store, but it works only for free ones (note: as I've read, but never verified); I've heard of no way to do it for paid apps.

Barnes & Noble has reportedly ditched its Nook apps for PC and Mac in favor of Web-based reading on the computer.
Barnes and Noble has been quietly erasing all mentions of its Nook for PC and Mac, but now we have the first official confirmation that both are no more. An official statement, reported by The.

- Nooks, in addition to being compatible with ebooks from Barnes & Noble, can also download ebooks from Amazon, Google Play, Smashwords, and Kobo. Let's dive into the nitty gritty details of downloading from each additional source below.
According to The Digital Reader and theeBookReader.com, B&N removed the apps from its website about a month ago, and is directing PC users to access Nook e-books via the new Windows 8 app or through Nook for Web.
Barnes & Noble did not immediately respond to PCMag's request for comment, but confirmed the news to The Digital Reader, which noted that B&N last updated its PC app in Nov. 2011 and the Mac version in March 2012.
Still, customers noticed the change, with some wondering on the Nook Apps forum 'What happened to the Nook for Mac and Nook for PC apps?'
'[In my opinion] this is all a bit strange,' user keriflur wrote in another forum on Thursday, adding that they haven't been able to read newly downloaded books on the Nook for Web feature.
'For me, this is a good reason to buy books from Google Play, as their web app actually lets me read everything I buy, they have apps for all my devices, and I can sideload to my [Nook Simple Touch],' keriflur said. 'Right now, I can't read my B&N books on my work laptop or my Mac, so why should I buy more?'
The only option for many users, it seems, is to download NookStudy — another B&N reading app for OS X and Windows. The service launched in August 2010, and allows college students to access class materials on their computer. Despite its obvious academic association, many people are turning to the app in lieu of designated PC and Mac options.
