You can't put a new commit into an existing tag without breaking an important Git guideline: Never(*) modify commits that you have published.
Tags in Git aren't meant to be mutable. Once you push a tag out there, leave it alone.
You can, however, add some changes on top of v1.1 and release something like v1.1.1 or v1.2. One way of doing that would be
Create a new branch from tag v1.1
git checkout -b newbranch v1.1
Do some work and commit it
Create a new tag from your work
git tag -a -m "Tag version 1.1.1, a bugfix release" v1.1.1
(*) Unless you have a really super special reason for doing so, and only if you completely understand the implications, and even then, don't make a habit of it.

when a new tag was created, new changes can not be committed to the tag, but if you do want to do this, you may need the scripts above
