It depends what do you want to achieve, local changes can be done with
\os, but this will use numbers from the math font.
Mark IV has a new the new option "fontfeatures" and you can use this
to get the oldstyle numbers from the latin modern OT fonts. Option one
is to redefine \os to use the numbers from the main font, you have to
put the following command in your document,
\def\os{\setfontfeature{oldstyle}}, option two is to write
\setfontfeature{oldstyle} in the preamble of your document and ConTeXt
use oldstyle numbers by default if present in the current font.
There is currently no better way to enable oldstyle number for the
whole document except you define your own typescripts and use them.
