If a table is exist in database without Partitioning then u cannot add a partition with it.
so rename existing table create a table with partition option and transfer data from rename table to new one.

You cannot partition a non-partitioned table. You need to do the following:
1) Create a table just like your non-partitioned table, but with the partitions you want.
2) Populate the new, partitioned table with the data from the old, non-partitioned table.
3) Drop the old table.
4) Rename the new table to have the same name as the old one.
