Is overridable a word itself?  While English is my native language, I
wouldn't call myself an expert on its proper usage. ;)

However, I can't find 'overridable' in several online dictionaries:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/overridable
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/overridable
http://www.google.com/dictionary?aq=f&langpair=en|en&q=overridable&hl=en
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/results.asp?searchword=overridable&x=0&y=0

Perhaps using overridden would be more accurate?
