Is it possible to change the footer for only ONE page of a section - Need the
header to remain the same for all pages except first page, but need to
display a footer on only one page of the document.

Headers and footers apply to EVERY page of a section. So if you want one page
to have different header or footer, you need to make it a separate section,
unlink its footer from the previous section, and unlink the following
section's footer from the unique page. If headers are to remain the same
throughout, they should be linked from each section to the previous.

If the one page where you want a footer is the first page of a section, then
the "Different first page" option (Layout tab of Page Setup) will allow you
to use the First Page Footer for this, leaving the primary Footer blank.

What version of Word? Does your Word document contain section breaks,
or is the whole thing in one section? When you say "on only one page",
which page do you mean?

For the header, in Word 2003 or earlier you can choose "Different first
page" in File | Page Setup | Layout, or in Word 2007 you can choose
"Different first page" in Page Layout | Margins | Custom Margins |
Layout, or you can use a conditional page field like:
{ if { page } 1 "type header text here" }

For the footer, you can also use a conditional page field something like:
{ if { page } = blah "type footer text here" }
but replace "blah" with the actual page number you want the footer to
appear on.

If your document contains section breaks, then you'll need to turn off
"same as previous" or "link to previous" (depending on Word version) in
the headers and footers of the immediately preceding and immediately
following sections before you modify the header and footer of the target
section.

Inserting section breaks is one way to do it, but not the only way to do
it, and too many section breaks make a document unnecessarily
complicated.
