    You can’t. The contents of the iostream library are defined by the C++ standard, and potentially shared by every C++ program in the system. Although you can (in practice, this is technically forbidden by the standard) inject things into the std namespace for your own program (this is a bad idea however due to potential name collisions), and you can define things in your own libraries, you can’t just go around modifying common libraries for everyone.
