Overwrite javascript file object

I am using javascript to upload file. for which i have used,

$("#file").on("change", function(event) {
    var files = event.target.files;
    var file = files[i];
    file.type = "abcd";  // MY AIM
   alert(file.type);     // NOT returning "abcd"
}

It is giving alert as image/jpg, but i want to overwrite my variable for a some browsers which are returning wrong file types. Is there any way to do so? please help me

You can't change type, it's a read-only property. You'll just have to send supplementary information to your server telling it the correct type separately.
