If you're using Ice cream Sandwich there should be a universal root method for all devices before 4.0.4 I believe, due to a vulnerability discovered in all ICS versions before 4.0.4. If you're using Gingerbread... it is quite hard, but there are still ways.
If you're using a lesser known device, take this as a general guidance. I can't tell if your tablet is the case, but most lesser known tablets are designed based on a small number of reference designs. No one producing a cheap tablet would spend cash designing something from scratch. So try to find your grandfather or sibling devices, people must have figured this out already and if that's the case the rooting method that works for your grandfather device would very likely to work on your tablet. Now, as the last resort, this will always work, but only work for web browsing. Get some SSH client that can do tunneling and tunnel (I.e. set up the SOCK proxy) of your web browser through the SSH connection to Sand. This I don't think you need root access, as the package distributor could just bundle the ssh binary inside the app itself and listening on a port is a permitted action on Android. But if your tablet runs on anything other than ARM you might find yourself having a harder time finding the app bundled with a ssh binary compiled for your CPU architecture. Hope that helps, - H.
