What is the necessity for doing it? If you want an object to have all the featrures of a class + something more or something less, all you need to do is create another class inheriting the other. To incorporate this we have inheritance, ain't it?I don't think you can incorporate any further functionality to an object apart from the ones defined in the class.

By using the concept of virtual functions, if you consider a class as an abstract class, we can override all the methods in its derived class, hence each of the objects of derived objects can have seperate functionalities.

You can use a callback function as below,

typedef void (*DoFunc)();

void Draw();
void Paint();

class MyClass { 
void DoSomething(DoFunc fa) { fa(); } 
}

MyClass a, b;
a.DoSomething(Draw);
b.DoSomething(Paint);

We may forget, the question is really talking about objects of same class. So I think all the answer on virtual functions are wrong. tehoclub may get close to the point of the question in my opinion.
