I know this sounds really stupid but how do you run scripts as root. i have an install if that makes a difference.

sudo command
or
su
if you want to stay root.

But say that I had a script in my home, called SCRIPT, then how would I run that as root.

sudo ./script
or if you are not in the sudoers list
su
enter root password if needed
then
./script
the file has to be executable
chmod +x script
linux is case sensitive, so if it is SCRIPT you must type it as such.
