I am trying to install Skype using the command

dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-precise_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb

It gives me a error:

dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege

How can I assign superuser privilege to current user so that I can run command without sudo?

Here is my /etc/sudoers file:

#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of
# directly modifying this file.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
Defaults    env_reset
Defaults    mail_badpass
Defaults    secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin"

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL


# See sudoers(5) for more information on "#include" directives:

#includedir /etc/sudoers.d

When I run the following command

sudo adduser ehsaan sudo

it gives an error:

The user `ehsaan' is already a member of `sudo'.

Sudo is required to make edits to the system files, unless you log in as root. It is not possible to my knowledge.
