I've tried the following:

sudo apt-get remove gcc

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4

But this does not work, running gcc --version gives a 'No such file or directory' error.

You can install both gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.6 if you wish. The binaries for them would be: /usr/bin/gcc-4.4 and /usr/bin/gcc-4.6.

Besides this, if you want /usr/bin/gcc to point to /usr/bin/gcc-4.4, then you have to update the link yourself or use update-alternatives as explained in this question.
