You can't and its not something we want enabled in revit is this would result in the program not being able to be trusted because of people cheating dimensions rather than fixing there position.
In that situation we would dimensions it and add a suffix to the dimension, for instance:
1268 (1200min) or (C.O.S.) or alternatively you can add a rounding element to that particular dimension type and round it to say 1270 or 1275 or 1250...
HTH.

I posted this article on my blog recently. It might help, not to overwrite dimensions but to "fake" it.

Dummy Dimmensions are useful with objects composed of breaks. Finish Floor to T.O. Upper Cabinets should not need the full visual dimension, but a dimmension override would be useful in these instances. Mr Spot, nothing is so black and white.

If you use a model view, you can break the view and the full dimension still works.
I fully agree with Mr Spot. I would rather trust the program. If you want to put a 'fake' dimension, place NTS ahead of it so everyone knows its a lie.
