How to update custom commit in git?

Question

I'm learning git and I have a problem. I created a new repository on Bitbucket and I have 3 commits:

commit A - v1.0.2
commit B - v1.1.1
commit C - v1.0.0

How to update "commit B" - files (removed, edit etc.)? How to delete commits A and B (on Bitbucket)?

git rebase
git revert
git reset?

$ git rebase -i HEAD~3

This will rebase last 3 commits. It opens approximatelly the following in your text editor:

pick 1111111 commit C - v1.0.0
pick 2222222 commit B - v1.1.1
pick 3333333 commit A - v1.0.2

It gives you opportunity to change your commits in some way. In your particular case, you want to change pick on line with commit B to edit and remove lines with commits A and C. After saving and exitting the editor, it prompts you to recommit changes that were made in commit B and delete commits A and C.

This however changes the history in your branch, so you'll have to force push to it. Be extra careful with this if you are collaborating with someone else!
