(How) can a mobile app access the phone's memory (wallpapers, ringtones, etc.)?

Hello,

we are trying to develop a mobile app which will allow the user to modify (read/write) the pictures in her mobile phone.
We initially thought about Java, but it seems that Java doesn't allow you to access the files on any mobile phone (and is generally restricted in terms of storage), due to security reasons or restrictions imposed by the phone manufacturer.

We managed to get the app working for the Nokia Series 60 platform in C++, but this limits us to only a handful of mobile phones in the market right now.

So, the question is: Is there a way/development platform which will allow us to do this in a phone-independent manner?

Thanks in advance.
