If you don't want "max" to appear in italic, simply enclose it in \text{}
\documentclass[preview]{standalone}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation*}
\sum_{w=0}^{w_{\text{max}}}f(x)
\end{equation*}
\end{document}
In my view, it's abusing the math environment to use it only to make superscript and subscript numbers in a context that is not math. So I would use \textsuperscript and \textsubscript instead.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\begin{document}
10\textsuperscript{5} and CO\textsubscript{2}.
\end{document}
