In this case I think it would be possible.

In theory there are a couple of tricks you could do to basically allow 
you do to anything.

For the Objective-C code you could use the standard method swizzling 
trick. For the C++ it's a bit more difficult. In theory you could just 
swap the pointers for two C++ methods/functions to use your own 
implementation. For that to work you need to make the location where the 
pointer resides writable.

Not sure if there's a better way to do this.
