Sorry You can't do that.
You can't install a 64-bit app on 32bit machine.
And from Microsoft download page, it does show download for 64-bit only.
Update:
Now it's available a 32 bit app. you can download the .deb from here
This worked for me on ubuntu 16.04 LTS 32bit
You can use Ubuntu Make to download and install Visual Studio Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-make
Then install Visual Studio Code:
umake ide visual-studio-code
You can run it installing a nodejs package called electron.
npm install electron-prebuilt -g
then cd to your downloaded VScode folder,
cd resources
then
electron app
that's all! Enjoy
The latest 32bit version was on May 2019:
This specifically for ubuntu 16.04
sudo apt-get install gdebi
you may have to force to install
sudo apt-get -f install
go to the link linux 32-bit version
and after downloading from your terminal go to your Downloads folder
cd Downloads
sudo gdebi code_1.3.1-1468330706_i386.deb
