Well, the correct answer is you don't and shouldn't be messing with
WRPLOBJ or it's authority.  QRPLOBJ should not be used for you own
applications, it's for the system to store the old replaced objects when
they are recreated with REPLACE(*YES).

If you want to put objects somewhere they will be cleared automatically,
either use QTEMP, or create your own version of the QRPLOBJ with some
other name and add a CLRLIB  lib_name  for this library in your startup
program (and possibly also on the system job scheduler to clear it
around 3am in the morning too).

The other (politically incorrect and more dangerous from a security
point of view) answer is to have your startup program owned by QSECOFR,
compiled with USRPRF(*OWNER) and including a line like:
GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/QRPLOBJ) OBJTYPE(*LIB) USER(*PUBLIC) AUT(*CHANGE)
