You can dig a hole and put them in it, securing with Sika or Concrete. If you don't want it so permanent, you can make a base to mount the pole with metal brackets - similar to a deck.

If it's a tall 4x4 pole....dig your hole then set the pole in it. Prepare a bag of cement and pour in the hole while Someone holds the pole level.
If it's a short 4x4 pole .....hammer a length of rebar into the ground. Then
drill a hole in the bottom of the painted 4x4 and slip it onto the rebar.
