You can make use of one of Magentos events that are triggered when a product is added to the cart. For example the sales_quote_add_item event.

You can then create an Observer where you update the price of the item added to the cart. This will not in any way alter the price of the actual product but only for that specific quote item.

Example of the observer method to update the price

public function updatePrice(Varien_Event_Observer $observer){

    $item = $observer->getQuoteItem();
    $price = $item->getProduct()->getFinalPrice();

    $item->setCustomPrice($price);
    $item->setOriginalCustomPrice($price);
    $item->setPrice($price);
    $item->getProduct()->setIsSuperMode(true);

}
