I'm not sure what you are asking. Do you mean modifying pronouns? If so, it can be done -- informally.

A: They took away my job and my life.

B: Which they are you referring to?

Woman to her husband: You used to love the thin me; why can't you love the fat me?

In more formal English, other ways of conveying those ideas are advisable.

Hi,
Maybe this one will do, too:
He hates his own self.
Oh no, I think self is a noun here. ???
