I'm fairly certain you cannot make changes (to the manifest) like this. The permissions in the manifest are an indication of all the possible things an app could do.
Even if you could I don't think that's what you want. If you remove the permission to send SMS and then try to send SMS I'm pretty sure it would explode all over everything (it may fail silently but I'm a pessimist). What you need is what you mention: build the user-level permission model into your code. If a specific user does not have the SMS permission then you will need to prevent them from accessing that piece of the functionality.
