There are certainly ways to achieve what you describe above.
But I think that you should really question the basic logic of doing so.
The 404 response is there for a reason : to stop clients from repeating requests for
something that does not exist. If you hide that condition to the client, and return what
appears to be a real content, then how can a client ever determine that what he requests
does not exist, and react intelligently ? What is there to stop this client looping
forever, and swamping your server with useless requests ?
Imagine that the file system of your server would do the same : if some program tries to
open a file which does not exist, the OS does not return an error, but opens some other
file instead. Doesn't make sense, does it ?
