The key here is to recognize that ListPlot creates a Mathematica
Graphics expression containing a lot of Point expressions as arguments.
Each of these Point expressions has a List of coordinates as its one
argument. We can thus use rule replacement as follows:

Show[ListPlot[Table[i^2,{i,1,4}]]/.Point[a_]->Text["+",a,{0,0}]]
