How are you going to fool the executive by poking around in the PE header from userspace long after the process has initialized? The executive fundamentally knows which subsystem any given process is running in because it created it and manages the low level process table. That's not to say that you couldn't install a kernel driver that somehow munges bits of the executive's internal datastructures to allow this, but sweet mother of sh*t do I not want to have the job of the person responsible for maintaining *that*.
