Creat thread, and access to process memory from kernel?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

I am still new to kernel programming, so sorry for newbie questions.

I am writing a kernel module (on Windows XP, and Vista), and
wondering:

- Which API should be used to create a kernel thread?

- Which API should be used to access (read) to a process's memory,
given the process's Pid?

Thanks a lot,
J
