How to copy files with superuser rights without gksudo nautilus?

Question

I'm tired of having to start the gksudo nautilus file browser every time I want to copy a file, but don't have the correct privileges for it. How can I grant my account the permanent privileges to copy and delete files in locations like these?

How often do you have to do this? O.o Where do you copy these files to? — muru, Mar 20 '16 at 10:33
