Short answer, You can't. There is not support.

Also the simulator does not replace real device testing. If something work in the simulator does not mean it work on a device.

My advice, get a device with iOS 4.0 and use that for debuging/testing the app for iOS 4.0.

Be aware that all tough you can install the iOS 4 simulator if you are targeting iOS 6 you have to remove support for the ARMv6 architecture which means that you will have to set the minimum deployment target to 4.3 – rckoenes Nov 21 '12 at 12:32
