Sep 25, 2013 at 21:03 comment added Ma Ming Now I get it. By a easy diagram chasing $B\to P$ is a mono, then $A\to B\to P $ is a regular epi, mono factorization of regular epi $A \to P$, so $B\to P$ is a iso.
Sep 25, 2013 at 19:29 comment added Ma Ming It seems true. Consider the second diagram of mine. $A\to P$ is a regular epi, and the pullback of $B\to P$ along a regular epi is an iso, we want to show $B\to P$ is also an iso. In fact, let $B\to im \to P$ be the image factorization, whose pullback along a regular epi is regular epi + mono, and their composition is an iso, so each of them should be iso. So the problem reduces to when $B\to P$ is regular epi or mono. It is easy for the case mono using factorization property. (not finished for regular epi)
