You want to start with Apache 'suexec':

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/suexec.html

suexec support is compiled/ready in your default Apache install on a Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora - do a Google on "suexec howto" and you'll find a lot of articles for various tools (PHP, etc.) which will give you ideas.
