I d like to set my computer to be "seen" as "american" though I am connecting from Rio. Is that possible?

The Internet doesn't look at your computer geographically. It looks at your IP address, and sorts out where the address is assigned to.
If you have an American IP address, the net will see you that way.
Your issue at this point is getting a good IP address assigned to your computer.

You would need something like a VPN to accomplish that. You will still have the IP address from your ISP in Rio, but all traffic will be routed through the VPN. This is not an ideal solution though. Oh and you would need a server in America to do this as well.

no you cant IP addresses are not set up via area....
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique address that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP). Any participating network device — including routers, computers, time-servers, printers, Internet fax machines, and some telephones — can have their own unique address.

Yes, this is possible. You will have to connect through a proxy server that is located in America. How you have to do this is dependent on the browser that you use. Here are a few proxies in America: http://www.samair.ru/proxy/proxy-15.htm
