This is because installing packages on your system requires root 
privileges. You can gain them by using sudo or with a root account. The 
simplest thing to do is

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

and you will have to enter your *user* password

Yes it is pretty limited. If you use synaptic (accessible from the menu 
System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager), you can search 
more thoroughly. Or you can use 'apt-cache search' on the command line 
if you like it :).
