If god in omnipotent, then I'd think god could answer such prayers.
The question you are really getting at, I think, is how christians reconcile 2 conflicting beliefs: that god answers prayers and that god values our free will. So I think you meant to ask: WOULD got answer prayers that violate someone else's free will?
As an atheist, I have no idea. It strikes me though that if you truly believe god gave us all free will, then even asking god to violate someone's free will is deeply problematic and potentially sinful (at least, I would think).

God cannot and does not answer prayers. All response is quite literally impossible for any and all figments of the imagination no matter how many people really really want the god delusion to be real.

Too many words in your question. It should read "Can god answer prayers?"
