Question : How to Set Permission in Event Receiver in sharepoint ?

Hii All,
I am using wss 3.0. And i have two lists.And i made one small event receiver and i am updating ListB from ListA by Event receiver. Now Some user has Contribute permission for both lists so they can easily update ListB from ListA. But Some user Has read only permission for LIStB And they have Write Permission for ListA. So they are not able to update ListB from ListA.

So I need to run Event Receiver as a Admin or Another user so they can update..
