This can be done with waveshaping.

If your source is a sinewave you can run it's samples, x [n],
through a polynomial function:

     y [n] = P (x [n])

and there is a way to calculate the required polynomial P
using Chebyshev polynomials.

I suspect that if you google for "waveshaping chebyshev" you
will find a more complete exposition than what I can drag up
from the depths of my memory.
