Simultaneous Access To Framebuffer

Is there a way to let 2 programs write on frame buffer with at least one of them not knowing about this concurrence?
I would like to do an... image overlay (I think that's the word).

Simultaneous direct access probably won't work because it will likely result in flickering. You're probably going to have to hook whatever graphics routines the app is using in order to inject your overlay graphics at the right time.
