You can't in the imediate output from an estimation command, but you
can use -estimates table- or the user writen command -estout-. For the
former see -help estout-, and the example below:

*---------- begin example ----------
sysuse auto, clear
reg mpg price foreign
est store a
est table a, b(%9.4f) se(%9.3f)
*--------- end example -----------
