if it's a client/server app the user shouldn't have access to the
server, so how could him to make the change?

Also the directory in which the pg_hba.conf is is only
visible/writable for the database cluster owner and the system
administrator, so that means you're allowing your user to connect to
the server as one of those users? or is windows uncapable of enforce
those restrictions?
