Ansible, override single module file

I want to tweak one Ansible module, I am using multiple modules. Now I want minor tweaks in one of them. How can I override default code?

I am not sure but my assumption is if I created a similar directory structure of modules in current directory, it will refer this code and for rest of module it will refer default code eg. for yum_repository module, default path is:

/usr/local/Cellar/ansible/2.4.1.0/libexec/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible/modules/packaging/os/yum_repository.py

but If I create the directory structure in my working directory as: ansible/modules/packaging/os/ and keep edited file yum_repository.py there, it should refer this edited file.

Ansible will look for modules in ./library subdirectory of the playbook dir.

You can also use library parameter in the Ansible configuration file to specify a common directory for your modules.
