How do you intend to power the compressor without enabling the robot?
In order for the RoboRIO to send control signals to the rest of the control system, it must be enabled via the driver station. This is a safety feature. You can write code that only turns on the compressor, but it still would require the driver station to enable the robot. See these instructions for how to do that.
C++
Java
For LabVIEW, use the compressor VIs. See here for LabVIEW resources.
