operator overloading and overriding in java

I want to know if it is possible to implement and overwrite the + and ++ operators.

Example:

public class MyClass{
 private myIncrement =0; //with its getter and setter
}

.... (another class code)
MyClass myClass = new MyClass();
myClass++;
myClass.getIncrement(); //this will return 1.

And also, if I want to create an Integer class that gives me only multiple of three in a way that when I use i++ on a MultipleOfThree instance it sums three to the current instance instead of sum 1.

You can’t do this: Java doesn’t support operator overloading. Handle your examples with additional instance methods, which is usually clearer anyway.
