Actually you can do it with Context.createContextForPackage(), which
will return a Context containing the resources and pointing to the
data directories of the requested package.  However, unless the other
application has explicitly made some files in there world accessible
or you are sharing the same user ID as it, there is no way for you to
touch anything in that directory.
