How could I send data to an application in kernel mode ?

Can I loead an application by some function in kernel mode ?

Yes, look at ZwCreateFile, ZwWriteFile, ZwReadFile and ZwClose. They are
very similar to the Win32 functions. Other ZwXXX calls may also be of
interest.

This has been answered many times the answer is NO. If you need a
function
that does not have a kernel mode equivalent, you either need to write
your
own or use a helper application to perform that work for the driver.
