No, you cannot read/write APDUs from your application while working with an external reader. When card emulation is enabled APDUs are routed directly to SE from NFC Controller. APDU communication with SE has other objective, main application processor can not emulate a PICC, that is the task of SE. When communicating main processor with SE you can theoretically load/remove cardlets, interact with them and so on. For the time being Mifare embedded inside SmartMX chip can not be accessed from an application. At least AFAIK.
