I have two references to the same string, like this:

s1 = "Two"; <--- s2 is still referencing to "One"
Now, I want that when I change the value of one variable (s1), the other
one (s2) is changed also.
You can't do that.
Can string behave like all other reference types?
String already *does* behave like all other reference types. Changing
the value of one reference type variable doesn't change the value of
any other reference type variable. Note that there's a big difference
between changing the value of a variable and making a change within the
object that a variable's value refers to.
Can it be done?
Well, you could write a StringHolder class which contained a reference
to a string and allowed it to be changed to a different reference. You
can't do it with plain string though.
