• To Hack something is to change something.
  
  So to change colour by painting or to make it do something other than it's intended purpose. Normally with home decorations to suit your decor. Or to make things more useful

  Check out the hack I've done on my new shoe rack. To turn it into something useful for the kitchen.

  After redecorating my house this item didn't go. So I hacked it to change its colour and now it's fits in perfect.
