Is there a functional approach to terminate running matlab script or function (similar to pressing Control+C)?

% Suppose we have a function that can potentionally take long time to return

d = difficultProcess();

% Is there a way to terminate the DIFFICULTPROCESS function before it terminates normally (but not % by pressing CONTROL+C)? This has to be done without modifying the DIFFICULTPROCESS function.

you can use 'quit' or 'exit'. See folowwing links for more information:
