How can I redefine the += operator ?

You can't.

x.foo += 5 is in fact syntaxic sugar to x.foo = x.foo + 5 where x is evaluated only once.

Since x.foo = bar corresponds to the call of the foo getter method foo=() and x.foo + bar corresponds to the +() method call on x, both these behaviors can be redefined by refinment.
