You can't. The camera is a fixed focal length and the gimbal is probably too weak to hold any lens adapter. You can fake it through compiling multiple photos but not a single shot fish eye.

Google "little planet photography" for one such method (extreme fish eye shots). You can also stitch multiple photos together and crop to your hearts content. ICE (by Microsoft) is a free image compositor and editor that you can try out to see if it gives you what you're looking for.

Image Composite Editor - Microsoft Research

The real question is: What are you hoping to capture with a wide angle lens? Most wide angle photography is done very close to the subject - something which the Mavic probably shouldn't be doing - so I suspect that you're really asking for something different, and have simply phrased it this way.
