The used vocabulary is in bold. In brackets I have the intended meaning (aka what I meant to say). Would be super awesome if someone could correct them and see if my usages of the words in general are correct. And even if you correct “just” parts of it that would still be great.

One big thing with the first examples- using ある is incorrect for what you’re trying to say. While it can translate to “have”, it means “have” in the sense of something existing. So you would use ある in a sentence like “there was a second serving of cake” (ケーキのお代わりがあった), it is equivalent to “to be” in English. For the “have” in your sentences, you want to use “have” meaning “to receive”, or more specifically in this case, “to eat”. So using 食べる will correct these sentences.
Also, for asking permission you need to put the verb in the te-form first. So instead of 「食べるもいい」it would be 「食べてもいい」.
