You'd have to experiment. Each web host provider decides how much you can change with your .htaccess files. Some allow more than others. But you might try something like this:

RedirectMatch foo.html foo.php

See the "redirect" directives here (for Apache 1.xx):
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html

Or here (for Apache 2.xx):
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

And a google search for "apache redirect" will have lots of tutorials as well:
http://www.google.com/search?q=apache+redirect

Hope that helps! :)

Re: [Dave] htaccess file question

Just a word to the wise for others who might follow this post as I recently did... and painted myself into a corner.

Adding the following to your .htaccess file causes problems with the WYSIWYG editor:
RedirectMatch (.*)\.htm$ $1.php

However, the following is okay:
RedirectMatch (.*)\.html$ $1.php

I tried to get cute and put both into the .htaccess file. The three-letter extension would have to have some sort of exception when applied to the '/cmsAdmin/tinymce3/' dir.
