You won't be able to do this unless the user knows administrative account
credentials. A better approach would be to register the event log source
during the installation of the application, which is presumably performed
under an administrative user context.

To write to a previously registered event log source,
EventLogPermission\Write for the target event log (presumably the local
machine event log in this case). Locally installed code is granted this
permission under default CAS policy.
