You can open existing class, and redefine methods. For example

#defined Soda class
class Soda
  def initialize
    @brand = "SweetenedSugar"

  end

  def retrieve_brand
    return @brand
  end
end


puts Soda.new.retrieve_brand
#this will return "SweetenedSugar"


#now, for example, you can open this class and redefine retrieve_brand 
method
class Soda
  def retrieve_brand
    return @brand.upcase
  end
end

puts Soda.new.retrieve_brand
#this will return "SWEETENEDSUGAR"


Hope this is what you want?
