Need help with tic tac toe game

I am in a C++ programming class right now, and I'm stuck. We made a Tic Tac Toe game (as shown below) that needs two players..I would like to change this program, so that Instead of player 2 getting a chance to enter a move, the computer will mark an 'o' and act as player 2. Thank you for your help!
