Making a Day & Night Cycle?

[SilentS]

How exactly would one be able to make a day & night cycle?

To clarify a bit, is it possible to:
[list]Make the skybox texture change from a day time texture, to an evening texture, to a night texture, and so on, either automatically or with the help of a code or script (a lua script in my case).[/list]
[list]Make the light_environment change automatically, with the skybox texture change, or with the help of a code or script (a lua script in my case)[/list]
[list]Make certain entities change values depending on the "time of day" (although I'm fairly certain it'd probably be easy to do this if the previously-mentioned events are possible).[/list]

And, in addition, how much lag would these cause to clients and server hosts?
