I had read somewhere that 'wa' is actually pronounced as 'ha'. Is it so?

the hiragana writing for wa is わ
the hiragana writing for ha is は
ha is pronounced as wa when it is used as a particle.
For example:
English: i am ... (name)
Japanese:わたしは…です。
Pronunciation: wa ta shi wa ...de su.

Is the other way around, sometimes ha is pronounced like wa, a common example of this is the greeting "konnichiwa", you write it こんにちは, the las syllable (は) being the hiragana for ha but you pronounce it wa in this case.
