can anybody guide me in this regard

This has nothing to do with JFileChoose actually. You'll need to use the File class or more the specifically the File returned from the JFileChooser and use the exists() method to determine whether the File exists on the disk and do what you need to do accordingly. Below is an example of a saveFile method you can modify and use. It only provides the basic idea, not a complete running code.
public void saveFile() {
int val = chooser.showSaveDialog( parentComp );
if(val == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
if(file != null && file.exists()) {
val = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(parentComp, "Replace Existing File",
"Confirm Replace", JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION, JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
if(val == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) {
// do file write code here
}
} else {
// you optionally restart the save method here
saveFile();
// or do something else if you do not want retry a save
}
}
}
