Question Cylinder Shutoff

OK, so I may not know alot about cars but here is a question that I have been wondering for a while.

If you have a v6 engine, why can't you physically disable two of the cylinders and basically get a 4cyl engine? Newer v8 engines can do this automatically on the fly so you would think doing it permanant like should be fairly easy.
