Writing data to a executing file
Nope. An executing file, or a file being read from has a write lock on it, so you'll only be able to read from it.
What exactly are you trying to do? There's usually better ways around this. Assuming you're using UpdateResource() or something, you can copy the EXE, then update the resource, then copy it back. I'll explain more if that's actually what you're doing.

Is it possible to get write access permission to a executing file?

If you are thinking of self-modifying code, you can simply map the file to memory and get a handle to modify the memory-mapped file, rather than directly the file on disk.

Just send him a nude photo of yourself, like all of the previous respondents did, too!
