Assuming you are running Windows:

1) Open up the hosts file which can be found in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc directory

2) Add the following line to the bottom of the file

google.com  one

3) Save the file

This needs to be done on every computer you want this to work for. So this means it will only be feasible internally (i.e. your company or internal network). You can't get computers outside your control to do this without having them knowingly install software that does it for them or providing them instructions. If you do this without their knowledge or permission you will be breaking laws.
