I want to override one of the assets
**app/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/date-picker.js.es6**
and load this file instead
**plugins/custom-plugin/assets/javascripts/date-picker.js.es6**
is this possible ?

Overriding a file in the bundle is not something we support, if you must you would have to load it up in the plugin and somehow replace the internal object model.
Why are you trying to replace the global date picker ?

I already told you privately that this is not possible. Again we cannot help you with a fork of Discourse.
