Lying on a Job Application or CV is IMHO most definitely wrong, and probably fraud too. However "Tailoring" of your CV towards the specific position you are applying for is not only acceptable, it's almost "de rigeur".

I was recently in the situation of hunting for a new job, and therefor sending my CV to Job Agencies etc. What I did was create a Master CV which was then Tailored to each specific job application. The tailoring being in the nature of emphasising which of my skills met the requirements of the position.
