If your distribution has sudo command you can do something like this crontab:

sudo -i -H -u youruser /usr/local/bin/yourscript.sh

-i simulates login, meaning that .profile, .bashrc and such shell environment initialization script are run for the session.

-H enforces that HOME environment variable is set correctly for that user, so that scripts find ~/.gnupg style stuff.

Cheers,
Mikko
