I live in India but I would like to view and purchase the apps available in US.
Is there any way to change the region of the Windows Store in Windows 8?

Note: You may run into issues using a billing address/credit card from one region with another region set. See Roaming in Windows 8. Switching Between Country/Region. Using Apps Purchased in a Different Country/Region
