No. Please describe what you want to do in detail so we can see if there is any way, rather than looking for general holes in the security model. I Don’t understand “access local folder file”.

I want to write to a plist file local folder , ex: /Library/Application Support/example.plist . When i click on menu item i want set "action : true" and later i want to make it false to stop executing menu item multiple times. I am looking for ways to write and read from plist file from my javascript, May be by calling other javascript or shell script or apple script.

My goodness no. Absolutely not. This is supposed to be a secure system, that's why you can't just get to local files either. Remember PDFs could come from anywhere.
