It is possible but it's not a good idea as it makes your machine less secure.
Why do you want to do this?

Because my computer is only...my. Nobody don't use this machine. Only me. And when I want Install any program i must write my password again again again.. It is boring ;D and i like combine with OS. Probably when i set "Automatic login" to ON, I get what i want. I'm right?
could you tell my what i must do to get settings which i want?

I must stress that it's really a bad idea. And no, automatic login won't do it, that will log you in straight away from the login screen.
As it is, the only real way to do this AFAIK is this: Root Login ...read the page in its entirity. Read carefully and understand the problems that can result.
Ok thanks for all replies!

You don't need to go down this route, there is a more secure way of doing things.
To allow any user to install programs without enabling the root account you can edit the policykit settings, I've outlined the procedure in this thread:

However, I would really recommend not doing this.
Having an insecure system doesn't just affect you, if your system is compromised it can affect everyone that uses the internet (bot-nets, DDOS, open mail relay etc.).Because my computer is only...my. Nobody don't use this machine
