We have a force.com site which has a simple lead form. We want to use a custom domain name like https://www.companyname.com/leadform as our url which we can use for marketing. I know we can register a custom domain and point the cname record to the force.com site url. But is it possible for me to have a ssl certification on companyname.com point to salesforce site page? Has any body come up with a solution for secure pages using custom domain like https://www.companyname.com/leadform as an example?

The answer to this question has changed with the SU14 release. See Configure a Custom Domain for Your Community which provides instructions that primarily involve contacting SF Support and the caveats highlighted below.
To enable HTTPS custom domains for your organization: contact salesforce.com.
To associate certificates with a domain: contact salesforce.com.
Original Answer
Bunyan, take a look at the Sites FAQ which says the following:
Q: Does it support HTTPS custom URLs (not force.com URLs) with our own certificate?
A: Not at this time
and
Q: Can i specify my own SSL certificate if i use a CNAME to brand my URL
A: SSL certificates specify an IP address and at the current time we do not provide a feature to host SSL certificates for sites other than the default domain force.com.
From the above, unless something has changed, I'd conclude that at this time it's not possible to do what you desire.
