For Android 4.0.3 and up (don't know how far up though) the following will work:

1. Go to Settings -> Wifi.
2. Long-click on your network and select 'Modify network'.
3. Scroll down to 'Show advanced options' which should show you the proxy options.
4. Edit your proxy settings as desired and save.
