You are trying to solve some user problem, and you think modifying a
system-wide file is part of the solution. So you are asking for ways
to modify the system-wide file while running under the user’s account.
The Program Files directory on Windows and the /usr directory on *nix
are protected from modification by users for a reason.
Please describe the wider problem in terms of the user and the user’s
actions and expectations, so that others could help you solve it.
