Not directly. Use setuid/seteuid to change the user temporaryly. Example

ok lets say i go by ur method...

and when i open the socket it will be in root

and after that can i set back to non-root cause i need a file to be opened and the data from the socket must be written to the file..............

like

Setting To Root

Opening the Socket

Setting Back To Non -Root

Opening the file and storing the data..........

( IS THIS POSSIBLE)
