I got this kodascope eight 33 but there is a problem… on a kodascope like this it has a motor switch and a light switch but when I turn the motor on… the light switch is just stuck in the on position. So the light doesn’t turn of at all.

Earlier Kodascopes did not have a separate lamp switch. I suspect the spring in the lamp switch has broken. I suggest you have two alternatives.
1) Leave as ii is. It will work OK.
2) Replace the lamp switch.
I assume the fan works.
if you can get at the back of it, there will probably be either two terminals on the switch with wires soldered to them or two wires running out and soldered to other terminals somewhere else in the machine.
the switch should be held into the chassis by a threaded ring on the outside.
If you see some ratings labeled on the switch, I can probably find a new switch for sale at an electronic parts seller.
First things first: do an exploratory, lots’a pictures!
Following on from Steve's answer, here is a picture of a toggle switch.
It fits through a round hole and is secured by screwing on a multisided nut.
I should point out that this is not the correct switch for the Kodascope. I have used it to show how such switchers are secured. Toggle Switch - COM-09276 - SparkFun Electronics

I don't know this projector but it is possible that access to the switches might be from the bottom.
I assume there is a plate, possibly secured by the screw-on feet.
