Since the four New Testament gospels were all originally anonymous, we have nothing written by any of the twelve apostles, and therefore no direct evidence that any of them could read or write. Mark mentions Levi , son of Alphaeus as a tax collector, so presumably he could have been able to read and write. However, Levi did not become an apostle, so the author of Matthew's Gospel nominated Matthew as a tax collector in his stead. As the other gospels do not follow suit, and as there are other reasons to doubt that Matthew was a tax collector, it is unlikely that Matthew was literate.
The Apostle Paul, on the other hand, was quite literate and well-educated.

Does Jesus regret never writing anything down in his own words so that no one could make up their own things and claim that's what Jesus said or would have said?
A:Yes, it is true that the gospels were not really written by disciples or even close associates of the apostles, just as it is true that most of the New Testament epistles are pseudepigraphical. As you have remarked, it is true that these writings are not good sources for what Jesus said or did.The author of Luke 4:16-20 assumed that Jesus could read, when he has Jesus read from the Book of Isaiah in the synagogue at Nazareth, but John Dominic Crossan (The Birth of Christianity) disputes the historicity of that passage. For Crossan, Jesus could not even read or write, in which case he could never have written a true account.
Is there any of the apostles of Jesus Christ who have Ph.D?
They didn't have PhDs 2000 years ago. As concerns education, most of Jesus' disciples were relatively uneducated in secular knowledge although some of them could clearly read and write. The first Universities were developed around the year 1000 C.E. and advanced degrees did not come about until the mid-1600s.
