When you click on one of those check boxes, it should ask you to authenticate - either:
- with your password (if you are a super user)
- or with a super user's password (if a super user has been created)
- or with the root password (which probably hasn't been set up as it's Ubuntu based).
If that fails, start a terminal and enter the following:
sudo software-center
It will ask for your user password and open the software-center for you with the required privileges to change the settings.
Alternatively, and if the above doesn't work, you can edit the apt repository configuration directly by editing /etc/apt/sources.list. The disabled repositories start with a single #. Remove this # to enable the repository.
