This can only be changed globally (not for single processes or vhosts) with the statements User and Group in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. For CGI's, you can use the suexec feature to spawn processes with another user id.

Open the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and change User and Group to whatever user, group you want.
