You have not provided enough information to know what you
might be doing wrong, but it is certainly possible. For
example in Axiom for Windows version 0.1.4 (see AxiomDownload)
you can do the following::

  )cd "C:/Program files/axiom/mnt/windows/src/algebra"
  )sys copy fraction.spad my_fraction.spad
  )edit my_fraction.spad
    ... make the change to domain Fraction, etc.
  )compile my_fraction.spad

All of the categories and domains defined in the modified
file my_fraction.spad, including the domain Fraction will
be re-compiled. But watch for error message and re-edit
and compile the file again if you make a mistake.

You will be able to access the modified domains and
categories later in this same Axiom session. If you exit
Axiom and then want to use the new version of the domain
Fraction in a new session without re-compiling it, you
can use the following commands::

  )cd "C:/Program files/axiom/mnt/windows/src/algebra"
  )library FRAC

If you are using the linux version of Axiom, the procedure
is similar (only the file names and the copy command change).

If this does not work, please provide more details about
exactly what you are doing.
