The condensate pipe should have a fall (slope) so the water runs away. To answer your question - Yes it is possible but need to know how the pipe is run including any drops and rises first.

We have a pump for the condensate pipe. However the engineer installed put a overflow pipe outside. We don’t like its position , the way it’s stuck out. So we was wondering if we can change the pump that supports a condensate AND a overflow pipe rather then a condensate pipe alone(as it is now)
 
Yes, called grey water pumps in the trade and used when a combi is installed in a 'tanked' basement etc. They are specified by how many meters they can lift the water to discharge into drains.

What does this over flow pipe connect to ,is it the boiler ? If so ,it's not an overflow !
 
I think you need to post a pic of what you are talking about, a condensate pipe wouldn't just 'stick out' and overflow pipe for say a troilet or a tank/cistern would.
A condensate pipe would need to run to either a drain/soak away or a waste pipe.

If Ive got this right then you have one of these already and you shouldnt add the overflow to it as well. I cant answer which pump you need for the overflow until you say from where the overflow comes, ie volume and and at what tempreture is first required from you.
