Can I add data members/variables to a struct from outside its definition in C++?

There is a struct already defined in C++. I need to add more data members/variables as that class's object's attributes. Can it be done? If yes, then how?

What you could do:

class
non_writable
{
        int private_member;
        int private_function (int, int);
    protected:
        char protected_member;
        char protected_function (char, char);
    public:
        double public_member;
        double public_function (double, double);
};

class
my_class : public non_writable
{
    public:
        double introduced_variable;
        double introduced_function (double, double);
}

The downfall to this method is that private members (i.e. private_variable, private_function) will not be inherited to my_class.
