You need to boot from the CD instead of trying to run it from within Ubuntu. Restart your computer with the Xubuntu CD in the drive and let it run!
You may need to enter the BIOS (“setup”) when your computer first turns on to make sure that it looks for a bootable CD before trying to boot from the hard drive. This is usually accomplished by hitting one of the function keys (usually F2 or F12).

I would NOT EVEN install xubuntu from a live-cd. All you want to do is change the desktop. You can install it without even removing GNOME. Read this:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-xfce-xubuntu-on-ubuntu-linux/
You can also uninstall the Gnome Desktop and GDM (replace it with XDM). But I won’t go into that. You don’t need to reinstall Ubuntu. Got that?

If you want to install xubuntu just open up the terminal and type in
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
OR
If you want to install clean pop in the cd and restart the computer (make sure your computer is set to boot from the cd drive before the hard drive)
the reason it is giving you an error is because the autorun is desinged to be run on a windows machene
