If you are looking to get access to any configuration file, you can try this (Ubuntu 12.04);

 

Open up the terminal manually or with the shortcut "CTRL+ALT+T". Now, depending on the file you want to access, the underlined can change.

 

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst

 

Or, you can do this and manually find the files;

 

gksudo gedit

 

This will open up gedit with sudo control. Next you just navigate your computer for the file/s you are looking for and there you go, access to the config files. :)
