On Linux, you can access process memory using the virtual file
/proc/$pid/mem, where $pid is the process ID. But you need
root access for this to work, and you also need to know how the
memory is mapped in the process (reading from an unmapped
offset will return I/O error).

Now I know that programm even at Administrator mode cannot do
this. Only system permission can do that. Or a driver on a
kernel-level (zero level). So now the question is how to code
driver, which gets other process' memory on D.
This question has nothing to do with D. You need to know how
your OS works, and whether it has an interface that provides
the access you want. The programming language cannot give you
this, and is also irrelevant as far as performing this
operation is concerned; if you have an API that can do this,
you can do it in any language.
Also, I know antiviruses will try to block this driver so I'll
test it with no antiviruses and Microsoft Defender off. Or if
I'm mistaking anywhere and this is impossible on Windows, is
it possible on Linux?
You didn't answer the question. Why are you trying to access
another process's memory? Without knowing what you're trying
to do, it's hard to give you a more specific answer.

I'm trying to do this because I have very special programm that
makes some calculations and on every calculation there is a hash
in RAM. I need to get a one of hash values from a .bin file, and
replace them. I mean hash in RAM of the programm is added to end
of .bin file, and one of hashes from that file (I set up sorting
algorithm by myself) is in RAM of programm.
