Can you buy out a company by way of stocks?

ok, let's say there is a company with stocks at 1 dollar, at a volume of 1 million. In order to take ownership (or majority) do I need to buy 500,000 shares, or 1m plus?



Also, how does it affect it if the company is presently owned mostly by someone else (say founder or ceo)?



Thanks
