I don't know how to make it change the priority automatically, but you can do it with a script using the "start" command.  That command lets you set the priority.  So, if you run the script instead of the program directly, it will always have the priority you choose.

If you have XPpro, you can change process priorities using the group policiy editor,  gpedit.msc.

Just use your favorite editor (can be wordpad or notepad) and create something like this:

start /abovenormal

Where is the name and any path required to your program

Name the file startit.bat (or whatever you want).  It will then start your program at above normal priority.  You can use any of the other priority keywords in place of abovenormal.

Type "start /?" in a cmd shell for more info on start options.

how can I create such a script?
