I am not sure if this is the only way (or if it would work), but you could
scrape chrome://extensions page for the info.

Public API (http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/api_index.html) lists
all allowed operations your extension can do. I don't think there is a call
that would let you modify other extension settings...

Take a look at messaging for a possible way of talking to other extensions (
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/messaging.html).
