I know that we can assign a theme named page-name.tpl.php to a page called /page/ with the use of the theme engine.

How can i assign a theme to a template programmatically in drupal ?

Maybe you can use Sections module?

c/p from project page:

This module allows you to create sections within your site. Each section has an installed template, theme or style attached to it.

Sections are shown based on:

Node specific visibility settings

Role specific visibility settings

Page specific visibility settings (regexped paths)

Custom PHP visibility snippets

Sections certainly provides access to this system, but it's just one of countless modules that approach this problem for one reason or another. Answering the question asked is @dobeerman and @ceejayoz. – Grayside Mar 05 '11 at 00:21

You can use the global $custom_theme variable to change the theme.

global $custom_theme;
$custom_theme = 'garland';
