If there are n't enough permissions, you wont be able to kill the process - be it whatever command it is.

Fortunately this is not possible! It would be a huge problem if it was.

1) Try /bin/kill -9 process id
2) If the process is bound to shell try pressing Ctrl-C
3) use top command and press k and give the process id.
