FCampos,

First, MapServer does not normally use the coordinate system information
from shapefiles (or any other format).  Instead you are normally expected
to redefine the coordinate system in the .map file using a PROJECTION block.

So I doubt you really need to do anything to the shapefile.

However, if you do want to, for some reason, the coordinate system definition
is just an ascii .prj file associated with the shapefile with a normal ESRI
projection engine string (roughly like OGC Well Known Text).  Just copy from
some other source.

If you have more specific needs I can provide more details.

Best regards,
