Subjunctive

Are these correct?

If I WERE you, I'd quit while I WERE ahead. (WERE in both spots?)
If I WERE president, I'd make some major changes. (NOT: was)

When do you use 'was' instead of 'were'?

Thanks.

If I WERE you, I'd quit while I WERE WAS ahead. If I WERE president, I'd make some major changes. OK.
