Is there an easy way to bind the redefinition to certain lanugage envirnoment?
If we redefine ṭ in the way described, then we cannot use it when we
switch to Sanskrit
printed in Devanagari. Most convenient would be an automatism that
would switch off
the redefinitions whenever we say \begin{sanskrit]

This is useful to use fonts where some diacritics are missing. However
is it possible to do the same with double diacritical marks?
I tried this:
\catcode`\ṝ=\active
\defṝ{\d{\={r}}} or \defṝ{\={\d{r}}}}
But get only: ṛ
You need a suitable definition for \=. If the font doesn't has a
suitable accent you will have to build something. E.g this here
would work (but probably not give a good placed bar in all cases,
and it would disable kerning)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Minion Pro}
\makeatletter
\DeclareTextCommand{\d}{\UTFencname}[1]
{\hmode@bgroup
\o@lign{\relax#1\crcr\hidewidth\ltx@sh@ft{-1ex}.\hidewidth}\egroup}
\catcode`\ṣ=\active
\defṣ{\d{s}}
\DeclareTextCommand{\=}{\UTFencname}[1]
{$\overline{\mbox{#1}}$}%
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\={a}
Āāīūś % works as expected.
ṣṇṭḍṃḥ % just crossed out boxes.
\d{s}
\catcode`\ṝ=\active
\defṝ{\d{\={r}}} ṝ or \defṝ{\={\d{r}}} ṝ
\end{document}
