Is it possible to overwrite OWD Rules with profile settings in Salesforce?

I’m trying to understand the whole security model from salesforce .. but there is some Constitution that I don’t understand.I just heard that the owd is for records that the user don’t own.So from my thinking, I thought that is’nt possible to overwrite OWD Rules with profile settings?

Hi shubham,

Profile gives you the permission too Create/Read/Edit/Delete the OBJECT as a whole.(Account, Contact, Opportunity etc). Then further the OWD restrict the access for Records belonging to that object (records not owned by you).

Thanks.
