If you can't use sudo and can't use su and can't use setuid, you're not going to be able to run it as root. They'd likely consider it circumventing their security rules in any case.
Why does the script need root? Maybe the permissions on whatever it needs can be altered so it doesn't.

ucimf_start
UCIMF_START(1) General Commands Manual UCIMF_START(1)
NAME
ucimf_start - libucimf unicode console input method framework starter
SYNOPSIS
ucimf_start
DESCRIPTION
ucimf_start is an assistant program to help setting up ucimf and start consle terminal program.
NOTICE
ucimf_start needs to be set setuid to root (and setgid to utmp) to be functional, otherwise users cannot use keyboard shortcut in fbterm
because Debian does not install fbterm with setuid by default.
setuid to root could probably do harm to your security, so set it at your own risk. If you run FbTerm, use fbterm -i fbterm_ucimf to start
it instead.
ucimf needs to run under an UTF-8 consle environment, please use locale -a to see the UTF-8 locales that your system is supported and use
command like export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 to set up the locale.
SEE ALSO
ucimf(1), ucimf_keyboard(1), ucimf.conf(5).
