Here is a 19-liner how to do it:

(delete-selection-mode)

(defun delete-selection-pre-hook ()
  (when (and delete-selection-mode
             (use-region-p)
             (not buffer-read-only) )
    (if (member this-command '(self-insert-command insert-char insert) )
        (delete-selection-helper 'kill)
      (delete-selection-helper
       (and (symbolp this-command)
            (get this-command 'delete-selection) )))))

Now type:

  You better belive Manny is the best hacker around

mark it, type something, and yank it.
