I am using natbib for APA style in my bibliography, but i want to change
A and B. (2018). Abc.
into
A & B. (2018). Abc.
I know I have to copy apalike.bst into my working directory and edit it. But I don't know which part that I have to edit. Please help.
Note:
There is this similar question here but it seems I can't find it in apalike.bst

If you really need actual APA style, why don't you use theapacitepackage with the[natbibapa]option and theapacitebibliography style. This implements a pretty good APA 6 style.

I can't because of the requirement. Actually I want to use apacite too, but unfortunately apacite is not in the list of allowed package, and the only possible package is natbib

Ifapaciteis not allowed, are you sure you're allowed to use a non-standard.bstfile?

There are two functions that need to be changed in your copy of apalike.bst, (I strongly recommend giving it a new name, like apalike-ampersand.bst) one for the label names (i.e., in text citations) FUNCTION {format.lab.names} and one for the reference list names, FUNCTION {format.names}.
In the function {format.lab.names} change the line:
{ " and " * s #2 "{vv~}{ll}" format.name$ * }
to
{ " & " * s #2 "{vv~}{ll}" format.name$ * }
In the function {format.names} change the line:
{ " and " * t * }
to
{ " & " * t * }
This should do what you want.
