Organic and heirloom are two different classifications. Seeds are classified as organic if their mother plant was grown without the use of any chemicals. This would include products that would have been put on the soil. An heirloom seed is from a variety that has been around over 70 years.

Can GMO seeds be heirloom seeds which you can plant over and over again?

No, GMO seeds cannot be heirloom seeds, and they cannot be saved from year to year to plant the following year. There are a few reasons for this: GMO seeds are transgenic (meaning a gene has been removed from one organism and inserted into another in a lab) and heirloom seeds are not transgenic, GMO seeds are patented and saving them from year to year is a violation of that patent whereas heirloom seeds can be saved for planting the following year, heirloom seeds have been grown for decades, often longer and GMO seeds were introduced fairly recently (1996 was the first commercially planted GMO crop).
