import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;


public class Main{
  public static void main(String[] argv){
    List<Person> persons = Arrays.asList(new Person("Joe"), new Person("Jim"), new Person("John"));
    persons.forEach(p -> p.setLastName("Doe"));
    
    persons.forEach(p ->System.out.println(p));
  }
}

class Person {
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private int age;

    public Person(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public Person(String firstName, int age) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.age = age;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(int age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
      return "Person [firstName=" + firstName + ", lastName=" + lastName
          + ", age=" + age + "]";
    }
    
}

The code above generates the following result.
