As root, you can remount /system for read-write:

        mount | grep /system

shows you the current mount state. To remount read/write:

        mount -o remount,rw /res/dev/system /system

check the mount state again and you should see "rw" instead of "ro"

        mount | grep system

Be aware that you can completely trash your system (phone, tablet,
whatever) if you're not careful. If you break it, you get to keep both
pieces.
