Edit httpd.conf file without root access?

Hi:
I have a dedicated server running cPanel. I need to edit the httpd.conf file, though my partner (who's away) has the root password. My question is, can I edit the file anyway simply using the password set for the domain account? I see I can at least view the file this way by sshing in and entering:

pico /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

But not sure if I can save and restart httpd as well?

Thanks,
