If the data was actually overwritten, then recovering it will require
very specialized equipment, the sort that three-letter government
agencies are rumoured to have.
If the data you lost is really valuable (like the location of that $300
million lottery ticket), then it's probably worth it to talk to every
data-recovery specialist to see if they have the equipment and expertise
to recover overwritten data. It will cost a lot (I'd expect the price
to be in the tens of thousands of dollars, and I would not be surprised
to find the price is in the hundreds of thousands).
For mere mortals like us, it's not possible to recover data from a hd
that's been overwritten with dd.
