System file "can" be deleted, but "shouldn't".

how can change any file to system file ?
change pointer using cd in command prompt (run as administrator)
use command attrib +s "filename" to turn it into system file.

I'm guessing we're talking about the Windows Operating System here. As a rule of thumb, you can just delete any file on the Operating System provided you've sufficient administrative rights on the machine you're hacking. The same goes with all other operating systems.

A system file is a file needed to run an operatring system. They reside on main memory as they are frequently used by OS. Any attempt to use these files by a user program results in fatal error. In windows they have '.sys' extension.
kernel is needed to access these files. And since only operating system can use kernel, hence a user has no access to these system files.
