It takes a special switch to do this but it is possible. You can buy switches like this for regualr house lighting. usually they are used when you have a long hallway and want to be able to switch the lights on and off from both ends of the hallway. You should be able to get them at any decent hardware store.
For lighting purposes it is called a 3-way switch. It is commonly known as a spdt switch. You need two of them one at each end. It is commonly wired using a 3-conductor cable. If you need 3 or more switches then you need a 4-way switch. For a schematic go to the hardware store and look at the package or google.
