You can't. Grant/Revoke permissions is under user control.

However, you can grant/revoke permissions via adb and you can trigger adb commands programmatically, but I have no idea if this works in combination?...

adb shell pm grant [app.package] [permission]
adb shell pm grant com.app.package.path android.permission.READ_CONTACTS
