How to spoof a USB device's Product and Vendor ID?
Background to the problem
I have a "Canoscan Lide 120" scanner which is by all accounts a minor upgrade to "Canoscan Lide 110" (Same chipset, same specifications, etc.). The device driver for "Lide 120" is not available yet and the scanner is not yet supported by sane backend. Adding product and vendor ID of "Lide 120" to the sane backend does not help in detecting the scanner by the scanner applications.
The problem
Is there any way I can make my computer 'feel' as if it is connected to a "Lide 110" instead of a "Lide 120" by spoofing the USB product ID and vendor ID, so that I could use the driver for "Lide 110" with "Lide 120" ?
Conditions
I am on ubuntu 12.04
I do not wish to recompile kernel modules for the same and I am a non-programmer.
So folks, how do we spoof USB vendor and product IDs in ubuntu ?

I think it would be easier and cleaner to force the driver to accept different USB IDs as in crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=38471.

In this case it may help to add a udev rule for that USB ID:
Find USB vendor and product IDs with
lsusb.
Add a file
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-libsane-canoscan-lide-120.ruleswith the content:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="xxx", ATTRS{idProduct}=="xxx", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
Replace
xxxwith the appropriate IDs from step 1.
(Re-)connect the scanner.

Thank you for your response David. But sadly that did not help. sane-find-scanner still lists the vendor and product ID of the scanner as it did before the rule was made. ' scanimage -L ' is still unable to detect my scanner. The purpose of the question is also to know whether it is possible to spoof a USB device's product ID and vendor ID without recompiling kernel modules.
