help with compile/run-time code

[Programmingkid]

I need a little help on how to take compile-time code and change it so that it executes a different set of code at run-time. I want to take this code: "4 -> cat" and change it to "4 cat !" at run-time. The "->" word needs to be able to do this. Would anyone know how?

compile time:    4 -> cat
run-time:	    4 cat !

In the context of local variables, would you be able to get away with 
parsing this as a string?
