To access system provided resource, just access R.java file of Android.

for example: 

android.R.drawable.checkbox_on_background  // To access drawable resource
android.R.color.black      // To access color resources
android.R.dimen.colorstrip_height;   // To acess dimension resources

Update:

If you are using Android 2.3 Gingerbread then you can access below in-built drawables:

  1. btn_check_buttonless_off.png enter image description here
  2. btn_check_buttonless_on.png enter image description here
