You can use DTS to export the data to a file. You don't need permissions to xp_cmdshell for this. Or you could run bcp from the command line. All you need for both is select permission on the table or view.

If you need to do this from a stored procedure, you'll need to get access from the DBA. The DBA can use a proxy account for it so that you don't need sysadmin.

Read the remarks section for the xp_cmdshell topic in SQL Server Books Online. The DBA should be able to help you implement it.
