Not possible i guess. Only root users will get access to System partition. If not rooted, you'll only able to access the SD-card folder only.
If there is any exceptions, correct me if I'm wrong.

It's simply not possible ..
and if you are on xda then your device should be rooted ..! ! So that you can take the full advantage of being a member of it
Go ahead and root your device
Cheers

Yes, it's impossible, you have to root......may I suggest you this: Universal Gingerbread Root & Unroot 2.3.3 -> 2.3.7+ ?
actually it is possible with abd it is like a temp root
what you need is a stock kernel in which ro.debuggable is set to 1 and you can use adb root command to push and pull files to system dont know about deleting
but still it is far better to root the device.

...-.-'...dhlalit11...temp root=root...but only temporary, but is always root...then the answer is always the same...it's impossible without root.

yes thats right, we need to mount system to r/w and thats need root, if not then we'll just in r/o state and we can only see and do nothing about it
I think it's possible
I have the same problem. I want to change the system sounds.
Today I was looking in my files with astro file manager. I noticed a little phone icon in the path. I tapped it and i got in the system partition.
P.S I have a galaxy nexus. It has no sd card. I don't know if it works with other phones.

I'd use adb, as dheerai said. I think u mean with 'root' that u flash sth with loosing warranty. But using adb doesnt void warranty, i think, cause if it would, no single developer using adb (and they do use it!) would loose his phones warranty and this might not be googles intention.
