    You can't. The browser's history cannot be modified. However, you
    can use ` location.replac e(url); ` in some browsers to replace
    the current page in the history.

    Location: replace() method - Web APIs | MDN
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536712.aspx
    The replace() method of the Location interface replaces the current resource with the one at the provided URL. The difference from the assign() method is that after using replace() the current page will not be saved in session History, meaning the user won't be able to use the back button to navigate to it. Not to be confused with the String method String.prototype.replace().

      By using appropriate cache-control http header, you can force browser
      to reload your document from server when user hits "Back", and ignore
      cached page.
