Answer 1

You can create a permission set using APEX.

See ObjectPermissions and PermissionSet object for a reference.

Example:

PermissionSet ps = new PermissionSet();
ps.Name='TestPermissionSet';
ps.label='TestPermissionSet';
insert ps;

//insert Object permission for Idea
ObjectPermissions op = new ObjectPermissions();
op.parentId = ps.Id;
op.SobjectType = 'Idea';
op.PermissionsCreate = true;
op.PermissionsRead = true;
insert op;
