Depends on your hosting company. If they allow it, yes.

If the php application created it, the owner will be the user running the
application - in the case of a web application, it would be the webserver's
userid. So the application would be able to chmod the directory.

However, if the directory is created by ftp (as another user), no, you won't be
able to chmod the directory - at least not without going through a lot of hoops.
