This is not safe from a security point of view, but you can then limit what root can do with eg. grsec.
What you do, is change the uid and gid in the /etc/passwd
Here's an example:
user
:1000:100::/home/user:
change that to
user
:0:0::/home/user:
and it should be working. But sudo or su is more safe.
Good luck
