In iOS, apps operate as a non-privileged user. They can't change the global functioning of the system like you describe.
Apple does not want, and does not allow, third party apps to change the way a user's device functions.
What you want to do is not possible unless you jailbreak your device.

It's still not possible at the OS level. You can think of allowing other apps to run/not run is a Kernel function. 3rd party apps have no ability. to run as Kernel. (This isn't exactly how it works. It's an analogy.) – Duncan C Jun 29 '15 at 12:48
