No it't impossible, and inappropriate. You can't just manage the users phone without his authority.

From Play Store:

"Cerberus automatically enables GPS if it is off when you try to localize your device (only on Android < 2.3.3) and you can protect it from unauthorized uninstalling - more info in the app configuration."

You can do something like this:

startActivity(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS));
