You pass your modified file to the compiler:
dmd yourfile.d format.d
The format.d there can be a copy of the one from phobos (or a fork or
whatever) and since you passed it explicitly on the command line, it
takes precedence over the one in the library.
You still import it as std.format. You can do that with as many modules
as you like.
I just tried it out.
dmd myfile.d phobos/std/format.d
worked fine, but interestingly,
rdmd myfile.d phobos/std/format.d
did not. The latter definitely takes format from the library. I have no
idea why.
rdmd doesn't work like dmd. here, it just passing "phobos/std/format.d" as
command line argument to "myfile.d".
