I think some media players can play different regions without changing the coding on the drives firmware, such as VLC. However it will only definitely work on older RPC1 drives though. With newer RPC2 drives it can be that they do not allow any access to the drive at all before a region check so won't work, but there is no way of knowing without trying it. Also if you do try it, it can take a long time for VLC to crack the encryption on the drive, so just try playing the disc and wait.
In terms of changing the coding of the drive back and forth there are programs that allow you to crack this and reset the limit, but i don't know much about them.
