This is an old question, but I just spent a ton of time looking for an answer, hopefully this saves time:

Use jenkins http api to stop build: wget http://your.jenkins.host/job/JOBNAME/lastBuild/stop

If you are using Matrix permissions, make sure your anonymous user has Read and Cancel permissions on Jobs.

You have access to a plugin to kill another task.

You can use this plugin:

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Signal+killer

This plugin extends the ProcessKiller extension point and sends a signal (currentlly SIGKILL) to a given job via its own call to the GNU C library.
