Control default contact list and messages app

Is there a way I can control what contact list and messages show? I want to make an app that if enabled will hide certain contacts or messages from certain people. I am not sure of this is doable Please let me know if this can be done programmatically. Please note that I am referring to the default contact/messages APP that comes with android and I want to be able to control what it shows from my app

Thank you

Fortunately, this is not possible, except by modifying the actual data, as noted in a comment on your question. You cannot hack into other apps like some script kiddie.

Note that, due to synchronization, deleting contacts may wind up deleting them from an upstream data source. The user may not appreciate this.

You are welcome to build your own contact app that maintains its own filtered list of contacts.
