Cannot do that, unless you have Apache itself run as that user.
You should probably analyse your requirements carefully (as to exactly /why/ you want the 
script to run as that user).  Then maybe you can solve that by making the Apache user and 
the other user member of the same group, and adapt your file permissions accordingly.
The other solution I can think of, is to run a separate Apache instance under the user you 
want (and listening on a separate port).
