You don't. You'd have to execute under a different user, of course.

Yes, the user under which it executes.

Then you need to use a user with admin privileges. I don't know why that is so hard for you to understand.
The only thing you can do with Java in the registry are the "preferences" type entries anyway, and if you are using the "user root" instead of the "system root" there is no problem. If you need to use the "system root", then you need to use a user with admin privileges.
Otherwise you are using command line tools or JNI, and you still need to remain within the system security processes.
