You would need a cd burning software that allows you to burn iso-images. You don't want a cd with the file *.iso on it but a cd with the contents of that file.
See here for an explanation how to do this on Win7:

For older versions of win, you will need a cd burning software, for example from here: http://www.imgburn.com/

On Mac, follow these steps to burn an iso-image to disk:
