    You can. Whether or not it's a good idea is another question with a different answer.

    This is a stupid question. The functions are there. If you play with the header files, that doesn't make functions appear or disappear.

    standard libraries are compiler-specific. If you changed them, you'd have to look at the source code for that individual compiler.

    you can create your own libraries, though.

    Depending on your linker tools, you can modify libraries without seeing the source code.
