Hi,
with mod_rewrite you could use:

RewriteEngine On
# Check if the file exits
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# File not found, so redirect internally to getfile.php
RewriteRule . getfile.php?file=%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

but remember that doing that it will slow down every request because it will
check for every request if the file phiscally exists.

I'm not sure if that helped....

If I were you I'd play with Errordocument as already suggested by Joshua.
Inside error.php you can return a 200 status code using the header function
of php.
Also you can decide to return an image from a php file too...
