To get information on the progress of the solver change the Display, OutputFcn, and/or PlotFcn options when you call the ga function. You don't need to modify the ga function at all.

I strongly recommend against modifying functions written by MathWorks. A change you think should be harmless (or that you make accidentally) could make the function stop working or make it return incorrect results.
If you need to see the process that the function follows you could set a breakpoint in the function and use the debugging capabilities to trace the execution. That would let you look at variables without making permanent changes to the file. This won't work for built-in functions for which we don't distribute the source code, but if I recall correctly ga is implemented as a regular MATLAB function file.
