I suppose you could attempt something with reflectors -- reflect some ambient light onto the subject. But as teaking said, this is basically a one-or-the-other situation. The backlighting will be much brighter than the light on the subject, and your camera can't cover such a broad range of brightnesses (its dynamic range is much smaller than that of your eyes).
