Not actually sure what you are getting at here, but yes, if an apache
process is hacked, then that process can do whatever if likes to any
other processes which are running with that *same* user/privilege.
What's the surprise? That is standard linux security (and is why
services are desirably started with unique user ids, and not as root).
So don't let your apache process get hacked!
