No way to workaround that - such commands are explicitely obligation of root account with a reason. You can use "sudo" for example to call :

Code:
import java.io.*;

public class RunCommand {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        String s = null;

        try {
            
	    // run the Unix "ps -ef" command
            
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ps -ef");
            
            BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new 
                 InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));

            BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new 
                 InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));

            // read the output from the command
            
            System.out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n");
            while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(s);

replace "ps -ef" with "sudo mount $parameters"
