sun.misc.Unsafe will do it. I'm sure you'll find that it's a very aptly
named class. It's like the old peek() and poke() but decades after
fixed memory addresses when out of style.

I second the recommendation for serialization using ObjectOutputStream
and ObjectInputStream. You can write your own readObject and
writeObject methods when you find that the default serialization isn't
efficient.
