Thank you all for the help. I work on Mac OS X, so all suggestions  
are viable.

I was hoping I could do it from within emacs, so the above and 'sudo  
emacs file' (as suggested by whd) are not really a solution to my  
problem. I had a quick glance at tramp (as suggested by Sebastian P.  
Luque and Tim X) and it seems to be to complicated for my simple  
demands, but I will have a closer look soon.

This seems to be the easiest solution indeed and I already did this  
as a quick way around, but I hoped for a more elegant method. Thanks  
for help.
