Hi
You can do it in lua.. you need to do it in the header filter stage
I'm doing something similar but probably not exactly the same
Hopefully example helps (untested):

         set $status_code "";
         location /
         {
             access_by_lua '
                 -- your lua script here etc...
                 -- if (an error happened) then
                     ngx.var.status_code = "403"
                     ngx.exec("/error/403.html")
                 -- end
                 ';
         }

         location /error
         {
             root html/error;
             header_filter_by_lua '
                 if ngx.var.status_code ~= "" then
                     ngx.status = ngx.var.status_code
                 end
             ';
         }
