We need to give visitors users the ability to confirm completing their assigned tasks, without giving them owner, contribute or design permissions...

Visitor can only confirm completing his tasks not editing or modifying them.

As suggested, the best way to go is creating a custom form where users can manage task completion. Try listing current user tasks and use a RunWithElevated to perform the changes... it might work. - Gonzix

Considering by default that users need contribute access or some version of contribute in order to act on the data within SharePoint, how do you propose they modify the data?

"completing a task" is still a subset of a CRUD operation, requiring some form of contribute permissions. That being said, there are always workarounds. Have you given any thought to a custom form which allows the user to update the completed and % fields?
