Why? Scared of the thought?

I really believe it's possible to exceed the speed of light because there is a law that states everything is possible because you can't prove something that hasn't occur.

Anyway, according to Einstein only objects with mass would require infinite amount of energy but what about building a space ship without mass then?

Well that's how Star Trek does it, the warp drive reduces the mass of the enterprise. But IIRC some scientist worked it out a few years ago that to actually do this would require most of the energy in the universe.

But if you come up good way of doing it, I am all ears.
