How to change already compiled .class file without decompile?

Question

I want to change .class file's method. I installed JD Eclipse Decompiler and opened the .class file. I added some codes and save .class file. But, .class file is not changing.

I don't know how to use decompiler. And if is it possible, how to change .class file without using decompiler.

I am using Ubuntu.

Regards

EDIT:

Here is my decompiled code:

You can follow these steps to modify your java class:

1. Decompile the .class file as you have done and save it as .java
2. Create a project in Eclipse with that java file, the original JAR as library, and all its dependencies
3. Change the .java and compile
4. Get the modified .class file and put it again inside the original JAR.
