Can ATC deny landing?
As long as both parties coordinate and agree, the aircraft can land based on the ATC's chosen direction or the pilot's chosen direction. ATC will usually make sure approaching aircraft are kept aware of the wind conditions so that agreement can be made. Either party can decline/deny the approach and/or landing.
Can a non pilot land a plane?
A talk-down landing may be attempted in the event of the death or incapacitation of an aircraft pilot. It involves a passenger or other unqualified person flying the aircraft to a landing with assistance from radioed instructions either from the ground or a nearby aircraft.
