Changing a method of an instance from another class in java

Im trying to change the method of just one instance from another class. Is this possible, and if so how can I do it?

Im trying to rewrite the entire method durring runtime. I only want the method to be changed for one instance of the class, and all the other instance's methods should stay the same. I hope that clears up some confusion

I think you need to provide more details and perhaps some sample code to get a sufficient answer. That being said, if class Foo extends class Bar, class Foo can override a method of class Bar. Is that what you're trying to do?

No this is not possible.

Method definitions are stored by class, not instance (and are immutable anyway). One thing you can do is to store a callable object per instance and call that.
