One option is to create ~/Library/KeyBindings/ and save a property list like this as ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict:
{
"\UF729" = moveToBeginningOfLine:;
"\UF72B" = moveToEndOfLine:;
"$\UF729" = moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:;
"$\UF72B" = moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:;
}
Quit and reopen applications to apply the changes. Note that DefaultKeyBinding.dict is not supported by some applications like Xcode or Firefox.
