You'll need to create a system snapshot and walk the processes and modules.
MSDN Tool Help Library

If you don't need to do it programmatically, you might want to check out Cedrick Collomb's Unlocker.

If you are trying to dink with system DLLs, there is a reason they are protected. If you are sure you know what you are doing though, check out Replacer. (It is a good tool despite the dilapidated webpage.)

Good luck!
