AFAIR, you may not _define_ margins after the beginning of document,
but you may _change_ existing values, e.g. (in ERT)
\addtolength{\topmargin}{0.5in}
on page 1
\addtolength{\topmargin}{-0.5in}
on page 2.
Is this OK ?

PS 1 I guess it's not easy because it is not a "normal" practice to change
page layout so directly.
PS 2 There is a fancyplain option which make plain title pages (chapter
title pages in a report or book) and fancy other pages. Don't know
if it helps there either (I use this to avoid running headers on
chapter title pages).
