No.  To quote from the technote:

     If, in Mac OS X 10.5 and later, you see a message like
     that shown in Listing 9 you might mistakenly think that
     the solution is to get the system to 'trust' your
     application, perhaps via code signing.

     However, this isn't the case. This message is really
     telling you is that you're trying to connect to the
     window server from the wrong context. You see this
     message if you try to connect to the global window
     server service from outside of the pre-login context
     before the user has logged in; typically this means that
     you're trying to use the window server from a daemon.

>or change the code ?

Yes.  Again, to quote from the technote:

     You should not attempt to fix this by convincing the
     window server to trust your program; doing so will just
     cause other problems further down the road. For example,
     if you do successfully connect to the window server from
     your daemon, you still have to deal with window server
     lifecycle issues described previously.

     Instead, you should fix this problem by changing your
     code to run in the correct context. If you need to
     connect to the window server in a pre-login context,
     create a pre-login launchd agent. For an example of
     this, see Sample Code Project 'PreLoginAgents'.
