If it is it will require C and likely a violation of your Oracle license.

gv$ and v$ session are base on X$ objects which are arrays in memory ... not physical tables.

If you really must do this, and your rationale looks more like a bad attempt at hacking than anything legitimate then I would suggest the following:

CREATE VIEW myv$session AS
SELECT DECODE(osuser, 'WHAT I WANT TO HIDE', 'MY', osuser) FROM v$session;
