I have a question regarding \natbib package. Whenever I generate references, package is automatically adding "References" title as in the screenshot below. I'd like to know whether it is possible to create a numbered section with custom title (i.e. force package not to create "References" section automatically) 

\usepackage{natbib}
.
.
.
\section{Section}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{bib}

enter image description here

You can have a look to the content of \thebibliography with \meaning\thebibliography, witch calls \bibsection, and (in article class) \meaning\bibsection uses \section * and \refname.

So change \refnameto 'Whatever you want', and copy paste the content of \bibsection, replacing the \section * by \section:

\renewcommand{\refname}{Whatever you want}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\bibsection}{%
   \section{\refname%
            \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase{\refname}}{\MakeUppercase{\refname}}%
   }
}
\makeatother

does the job.
