No, you aren't. Root gives you an ability to be god over the system but it doesn't make you god automatically

To be a real god over the system, you have to know the way to it's "control centers".
Ok, even a Mac OS X users have to learn their system (at least the basic things), so here is the answer to my question.
~/Library/Preferences - MAC OS X analog of Windows registry HKCU
/Library/Preferences - MAC OS X analog of Windows registry HKLM
Every key is located in it's own file. These files can be easily altered by means the OS commands (e.g. plutil can convert them into XML files and back to binaries). You can also use a special software (e.g. resource knife) to do it without converting.
Also type "defaults" in the Darwin's terminal.
