Welcome. I'm sorry nobody has posted a response yet. Hopefully if I posted some research, it will help someone else come up with a helpful answer.
I found this article about how to use BBC iPlayer on unsupported ICS devices by viewing the desktop edition of the web site instead of the mobile edition or using the BBC iPlayer app:
How to use BBC iPlayer on the Galaxy Nexus (or any unsupported ICS device) | Android Central
This appears to be the app:

If you're just asking how to change your browser's identification between desktop and mobile, it's in the browser's settings as described in that article. You can also try other browsers like Opera Mobile Classic.

In Opera Mobile Classic you can open the menu, go to Settings -> Advanced -> User Agent to switch between Mobile and Desktop.
