Answer 1

This can be done if you create a full specialization of the class template. Just refer to the answer in this question: If I want to specialise just one method in a template, how do I do it?

Otherwise if you want to have a given function with the same signature have two different behaviors depending on the instantiated version of the class, and that instantiation is a partial specialization of the template class, you will have to make a separate specialization of the template class.

Keep in mind that if you want to avoid redundant code in this second case, you can always create a base template class that will have the functionality that will not change, and then create derived template classes that will contain the unique functionality necessary for each partial specialization.
