If you wanted to modify SYSTEM variables you’d need some form of elevation, in order to write the relevant Registry keys.
This could be done with a script and something like CPAU from JoeWare, or a third-party tool, maybe.

About 7 paragraphs down it discusses the registry key and method of announcing an update: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682653(v=vs.85).aspx If I had to do this quickly I would give the user account permission to add values to that key and instruct them to reboot. There are more in depth approaches out there but I think those are the basics.
