A good practice is to not let others than root have write access to /usr/local/src, but some programs like for instance Vuze need write access to that folder to update the programs. How to solve that issue?

You can change the group and then make the directory group writable and sticky:
chgrp wheel /usr/local/src
chmod g+ws /usr/local/src
Then make sure any application that needs write access is running as a user in the wheel group (you can of course use any group you want, wheel is just an example).
