[ubuntu-za] Scheduled Update

Can an expert please help me...
My ISP (Cybersmart) offers a discount on cap after 01:00 so I'd like to  
schedule updates & downloads for after that time.
Using cron or gnome-scheduler is fine except that I don't know how to  
either enter my password or run the task as root while I'm asleep.
Excuse newness/ignorance!
TIA
