I'm trying to play a region 4 DVD on a region 1 PS3 and, predictably, it refuses to play it with a message like "The DVD is from a different region". Is there any way to change that and play DVDs from any region?

From How to Make a PS3 DVD Region Free :

Use the DVD-copier software to make a copy of your DVD. Both Nero and DVDXCopy Platinum will make direct copies of commercial DVDs, so they'll both work well for these purposes. Making a copy will remove any region coding the disc has and effectively make it "Region 0," or "all-region." As long as you own the DVD you are copying, you are doing nothing illegal.

Not without modding or jailbreaking the PS3, or ripping the DVD and rewriting it region-free.

For all sorts of legal and license agreement reasons, the second option is probably less likely to land you in trouble.
