yes we can access it see this example and read comments for more clarification:

    class A
    {
    private void methodT()
    {
    System.out.println("I am in Class A");
    }
    class B extends A
    {
    public void methodT()  
    {
    System.out.println("Hey I am overridden ");
    }
  }
  // check this output  
   public static void main(String args[])
    {
    new A().new B().methodT();
    }
 }

we modified class A private method in class B.
