On Ubuntu Tweak-> Admins -> Scripts, move Browse as root script to enable scripts.
run this command:
nautilus -q
And run nautilus, right-click on a file, you can see in "Scripts" sub-menu "Browse as root".But, i think there is a bug in script, because if you right-click on empty area in folder, "Browse as root" can't show the folder you want.So you must right-click on a file in the folder. No problem for me, i use this script.

"Browse as root" script. İf you install Ubuntu Tweak, you can see this script in Ubuntu Tweak-> Admins-> Scripts. This script provides you browsing as root on Nautilus and openning files as root.– HckrNov 11, 2012 at 17:26

You can open files as root when you are browsing as root and also you can do it directly with right click.Run following commands in terminal. in order to get root privileges:
sudo suthengedit .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Open\ as\ rootNow a gedit windows must have opened.Copy and paste the following code:for uri in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_URIS; do gksudo "gnome-open $uri" & doneCtrl+S to save file and back to the terminal and type:sudo chmod +x .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Open\ as\ rootNow you can see Open as root option where Scripts sub-menu in nautilus right-click menu.– HckrNov 11, 2012 at 22:17 -
