That file is a file like any other. What particular difficulty are you having (assuming that the account your code runs under has access rights to it)?
Well, Windows 7 and Vista have User Access Control (UAC) enabled by default. This will usually ask you for permission if you want to make any changes to system files and folders, and the hosts file is one of them. Unfortunately, some programs do not trigger the permission dialog, and access simply fails. Java is one of these applications.
