While it might be somehow technically possible (you could rewrite the catalog extension and replace the old one with your one in your build mechanism maybe), this is not the recommended approach to customizing and enhancing hybris. Instead, you would create your own extension (using the ext-gen mechanism documented well on help.hybris.com) and enhance (i.e. add new item types, attributes etc) or even just redeclare existing item types and attributes.

The catalog extension is part of the core platform, it is designed to be fairly generic and extensible, do you have any particular reason to replace it instead of enhancing/redeclaring things on it?

Hope this helps
