Here is a possibility...

sage: K.<a> = QuadraticField(2)
sage: OK = K.OK()

sage: OK.gens()                                                                                                                             
(1, a)    sage: J = OK.ideal(3)

sage: Q = OK.quotient(J, names='abar')

But do not expect too much functionality from this construction. Instead, why not construct "with bare hands" the ring last listed in the following chain of isomorphisms. (We know that $\mathcal O_K$ is generated by $1$ and $a=(x\text{ mod }(3))$.) $$ \mathcal O_K/(3) =(\Bbb Z[x]/(x^2-2))/3 =\Bbb Z[x]/(x^2-2,\ 3) =(\Bbb Z[x]/3)/(x^2-2) =\Bbb F_3[x]/(x^2-2) \ . $$ Which is:

R.<x> = PolynomialRing(GF(3))                                                                                                         
F.<a> = GF(9, modulus=x^2-2)

Of course, knowing the purpose for the needed code snippet may change the situation.
