you should sudo before a command in the terminal

or gksudo to launch a gui program

see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

If you're in nautilus (this is the folder explorer) you can right click on a folder and choose open as administrator, the file manager that opens will then have administrator rights

just be very carefull when you have administrator rights, as you then have the rights to destroy your ubuntu installation
