How do I become the user nobody?

If I'm not root and just a regular user on a server, how could I switch to the user nobody. I tried making a shell in php and setting the owner to nobody with chown but apparently you need to be root to do that. What could I do to become nobody?
Also is it possible to login to a ssh shell as the nobody user?
