Have you tried "sudo yourprogram"?
If this doesn't work you can one of the graphical sudos.
But probably debugging with "debug->start" won't be possible, you'll have to attach to the process.

Yes, I am doing that now, I was just hoping there was a setting in code::blocks so I don't have to go to the terminal every time I want to test the program.

There is; it works sightly differently between Windows and Linux; so, it might not do what you want.
I am on windows; so, I am not sure what Linux shows.
Try "Project" -> "set Program Arguments"

If you're using Gnome (the default desktop), use gksudo <your program>. It will ask the password and run the program as root, but using a gnome prompt window instead of the shell.
