On a dedicated server, it's trivial to do it.
Look in httpd.conf for "User"
Could also be dangerous, or a boon, depending on what you do with it
next, and what you do with it years down the road...

On a shared server, with VirtualHosts, it gets more complicated
You're looking at proxyservers, fastcgi with suexec or similar stuff.
This also brings some potential dangers etc.
