Move files while making a tar

I have the following folder structure

code/f1/
code/lib/t1
code/lib/t2
code/lib/t3
code/lib/t3
code/lib_1/t1
code/exc

I would like to create a tar with a folder structure below and I can use the following tar command
f1
lib/t1
lib/t2
lib/t3

tar -cvf code.tar -C code f1 lib --exclude exc lib_1

But in some cases I need to replace lib/t1 with lib_1/t1 and keep the folder structure lib/t1.
I would like to know Is there a way in tar command I can move/replace an existing file in a tar with a different file but keep the existing folder structure?
or Add a file to a tar with a specific folder path?
or Move files during tar?

Thanks for the help in advance!
