There is probably something you could do by unprotecting E and I
then adding definitions. But this would be an unwise thing to
do. Several (many?) parts of Mathematica are written in
Mathematica. Changing the way fairly fundamental parts of
Mathematica work likely will have unexpected consequences on
other parts of Mathematica. Additionally, making such a
fundamental change will make your notebooks/code un-portable and
much harder for someone else to understand.
