How can a bill or law vetoed by the president still become a law?

Yes, but not necessarily.
Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution
"If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a Law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a Law."
Therefore if Congress is still in session after the President's ten day signing period expires and the President does not return the law to Congress (ostensibly with a veto or signing it), it becomes law by default. If Congress is not in session on the appropriate day, it becomes vetoed by default.

What happens after the president signs a bill?
When the president signs the bill, it becomes law. If the president refuses, the bill is vetoed, but if a two thirds vote by Congress, it can still become law.
If a president does not act on a bill within 10 days what happens?
If the Congress is still in session, the bill becomes a law after 10 days even if the President has not signed it or vetoed it. If the President vetoed the bill, Congress has to override the veto in order for it to become a law. If the President has not signed the bill within 10 days and the Congress is not in session, it does not become a law. This is called a "pocket veto."
