I guess it depends what you want to change. Using extend you can
redefine any of the public functions, but the private functions will
remain private.
$.extend($.fn, {
ajaxSubmit: function(options) {
// your code here
}
});
The above it no different that just doing this
$.fn.ajaxSubmit = function(options) {
// your code here
};
