I"m not sure what you mean by global method.  Do you mean class method? 
If so then ModelName.stub!(:class_method) should work.  If you are 
talking about an instance method then you just need to call stub! on the 
instance (it can be a mock object or a real object.)

What is the exact problem you are running into though?  Mocking may not 
be the best option....
