BAD IDEA. Screwdrivers (flatheads anyway - but why would you use a phillips or something for this?) can have pretty sharp edges that will not only cut your inner tube, but could cut into the tire from the inside, which is generally their weakest spot. So don't use a screwdriver to take off a tire, and definitely don't use it (or anything else besides your hands for that matter!) to put it on. Actually, you can take off fat tires with your bare hands if you don't mind getting blisters (Lennard Zinn lays out a whole complicated multi-step procedure for this in Zinn's Cycling Primer).
