What exactly do you want to do? Replace the checkbox with a solid color for the checkbox, or with an image, or something else?
Understand that what you want to do may potentially inhibit the usability of your form.

Why would you want to change something that nearly every user is familiar with? A checkbox is well known on the web so you are going to seriously affect the usability of the site not to mention that by using JavaScript your accessibility will be out the window.
It's ok to try new and innovative ideas but sometimes you've just got to think that people are used to doing things a certain way and should consider what the advantages are of removing checkboxes?
