Yes it can be done. It's done by, essentially, ripping a hole in them. Whether motivated by good or bad motives, doing that amounts to a psychic attack. There's not a whole lot of good you can do to someone by ripping a hole in them.
Then there's the matter of wisdom and unintended consequences. Say, hypothetically, you did alter someone else's thoughts. Are you really, truly certain that you know what you are doing? The "fear" you may address, for example, may be the fear that would have kept them alive in a future crisis. Or the hope you may give a depressed person might lift their mood just enough for them to find the motivation to kill themselves. Or perhaps the problems they are dealing with at the moment are, in fact, part of a deep spiritual transformation. Do you really want to butt into the process and relieve just enough suffering to prevent the more profound transformation from taking place which would have brought them much deeper and more lasting happiness?
There are much, much better ways to help someone. Pray for them, bless them, send them light, do whatever it is that your path says you may do to help others, or just be a not-particularly-esoteric real-life friend. But stay far away from anything which involves direct psychic manipulation of another person's thought.
