Install kdesudo if it's not installed by running
sudo apt install kdesudo
Then you'll be able to run GUI applications as root, for example
kdesudo kate /path/to/file.text

@wblm Well, you haven't mentioned that in the initial version of your question, have you? If you had provided this info I would not have posted this answer which is of no use to you. Important details in questions always help to reduce guesswork and increase the possibility of getting most relevant answers :) – pomsky Jan 16 '18 at 08:30
