I tried to create a page object and then replace the values in it with custom ones.

**See the code below:**

```php
$page = page('home');

page::$methods['title'] = function($page) {
  return 'CUSTOM TITLE';
};

$page->title = 'CUSTOM TITLE';

echo $page->title();

```

**It still says:**

> Home

### It works for values that does not exists

```php
$page = page('home');
page::$methods['title1'] = function($page) {
  return 'CUSTOM TITLE1';
};
$page->title1 = 'CUSTOM TITLE2';
echo $page->title1();

```

> CUSTOM TITLE2

In this case it does not help me, as I need to overwrite them, not create new ones.

Is there a way to overwrite `$page` object values?

As stated in the [docs](https://getkirby.com/docs/developer-guide/objects/page#default-page-methods), you cannot override default page methods. You probably can using a page **model** : [https://getkirby.com/docs/developer-guide/advanced/models](https://getkirby.com/docs/developer-guide/advanced/models)
