Solution 1

You can open and edit just about any file but for this usage it wouldn't serve any purpose to edit the host file. It has nothing to do with security.

It is possible to do so.It is plain text file reading and writing go through the following link to get an idea on how to do so.Pass path of the host file as a parameter.Edit the information and dump it back to the host.
