How to change SOAPException ResponseCode

I am using SoapException to handle invalid inputs and all other kind of exception handling in my web service. It's working fine and I am able to format and return proper information to client. I am following a method similar to the one explained here http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2004/08/throwing-better-soap-exceptions.html

Now I want to change the response code it returns when a SoapException happens (ResponseCode: 500 Internal Server Error).

Following is the default response code am getting in addition to my own custom XML data when a SoapException occurs. I want to change the ResponseCode to 200.. Is it possible and how? 

ResponseCode: 500 (Internal Server Error)  
Connection:Close  
Content-Length:494  
Cache-Control:private  
Content-Type:text/xml; charset=utf-8  
Date:Tue, 25 Jan 2011 06:59:30 GMT  
Server:ASP.NET Development Server/8.0.0.0  
X-AspNet-Version:2.0.50727

In support of John Sauders' word of warning above, according to WS-I Basic profile:

"R1126 An INSTANCE MUST use a "500 Internal Server Error" HTTP status code if the response message is a SOAP Fault."
