Check out keyboard-translate-table in the "Translating
Input" info node for elisp.  The keyboard-translate
function is probably what you need.  (I just made an
interesting mistake testing it:  I did
(keyboard-translate ?z ?y) first, and I could not
easilz ( :) ) do (keyboard-translate ?y ?z) because I
could no longer enter a z!  I solved the problem by
copying one from the buffer.  Word to the wise:
Compose both functions calls before executing either.)

I am not sure, but I think this probably requires use
of the function-key-map (same info node).  You may be
confusing ^M and ^J.
