For a static route you can force another metric:
ip route x.x.x.x y.y.y.y z.z.z.z metric <worse than ospf>
afaik a connected interface will always have a weight of 0 (best) and it's
not changable.
BUT you can force the OSPF metric when importing that connected-route into
OSPF.
!
router ospf 123
redistribute static metric xxxxx
!
This will not change the "best route" locally on the router, but only on the
rest of your OSPF network...
