 You want to use "sudo". Just type "man sudo" at a terminal to get plenty of info.
It'll do what you want. If you have questions after reading the man page, we'll
be happy to help!

 On July 4, 1951, the Madison, Wisconsin Capital-Times circulated
  a petition composed entirely of quotes from the Bill of Rights
   and the Declaration of Independence. Thanks to the Red Scare,
   only one person out of 112 signed it; some called the FBI to
            investigate the 'subversive' petition.
