I see that some plugins like Wordfence can write on core folders like wp-includes or wp-admin (if write permission is enable). In case everything is permitted, is there a way to interact with the hosting from admin dashboard only? Assuming this is on the site installation folder only.

You basically have two options:

Use any of the available File Manager plugins for WordPress. Just Google them, literally that phrase I just used.
Implement a custom PHP code in your theme or custom plugin which will utilize any of the PHP functions for manipulating the files. For example, check these:
- file_get_contents() - For reading files
- file_put_contents() - For writing files. This will also create a new file if it doesn't exist.
- unlink() - For deleting files
- chmod() - For changing permissions
- chown() - For changing owner

There are also a ton of functions for more advanced file manipulation in PHP. Check this for reference: Filesystem Functions
