If you're looking to adopt/buy a kitten, please make sure they're at least 8 weeks old. If the person you're getting them from says any younger, do not take the kitten. They need to stay with the mother cat until that age, otherwise they'll have behavioral issues. Plus, they get to nurse longer, which is better for their overall health.
You can introduce kittens to soft (can) food at 4 weeks old, some will take to it instantly, others may take longer. Usually, at 8 weeks old, they're still nursing but able to eat hard food.
Make sure the food you're feeding them is made for kittens. It has the nutrients kittens need, where as adult food doesn't.
