Answer 1

Your program where you are trying to kill cheatengine-i386.exe is not running with enough privileges to kill the other process. You probably need to run your program as an administrator.

Answer 2

The program certainly changed its ACL to prevent itself from being killed. Logically speaking, the solution it to change its ACL back, but you can't do that in managed code at all, and dealing with locked-out ACL objects is so painful in native code I let pre-written programs do it for me.
