You won't be able to put a derailleur gearset on a coaster wheel basically because they are not compatible without serious modifications.
Also, one cannot have both a functioning derailleur and a functioning coaster brake. The derailleur would be destroyed actuating the coaster.

Gears + coaster (or the like) = IGH. Internally geared hubs are the way to go if you want to keep a coaster brake (or drum brake).
Look online for something from Sturmey-Archer or Shimano Nexus/Alfine.
 
they don't make anything like that, but it's certainly possible to have a geared coaster hub. most 3 speed internal shift hubs are coasters.
