Modifying files in R_HOME/etc works, but I have no idea why you think
/etc/R is relevant.
The simplest way is to replace @CRAN@ in R_HOME/etc/repositories. (See
?setRepositories.)
Almost as simple is to set e.g.
options(repos=c(CRAN="http://cran.us.r-project.org";))
in R_HOME/etc/Rprofile.site (see ?Startup).
