You want to run as a service instead. I think win32-service does this.

Yes. It's actually bundled up for you already in the 'ruby-services'
package. Download the zip file, unzip it and read the instructions.
There are also services for fri and rubygems' gem server.*

Yes, it uses the Windows Service API. Yes, you'll likely need admin
privileges to install it as a service.
If you want to simply background the process, take a look at the
'start' command.

The actual example is, i want to run an application that consists of
serveral parts:
- a webrick server
- a background updater
Prerequisites are:
- windows (so no daemonize)
- no admin rights (so a service under windows is not possible)
No what is really the best option to spawn those two parts as different
processes/threads and do not loose control over them. It must be
possible to quite or restart those processes if needed from the main
script.

Daniel suggestion was good, windows have a "start.exe" application
that spawn new process with specific command line.
Since you need "control" them, you should start look at other tools
beyond this topic.
I could suggest you take a look at mongrel_service, which is a service/
console implementation to run ruby+mongrel+rails made in freebasic:
http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/projects/mongrel_service/
All the requirements are listed in the README.
Take a look at the code, it implements a "console" mode that let you
start/stop (ctrl-c) the background process.
