Answer 1

Since you have mentioned task page layout, I am assuming that it is not a visualforce page. In that case you cannot enlarge checkbox using css. To be able to apply any custom style to components, it should be in a visualforce page.

Answer 2

I can think of a pretty hacky way to do it.

Using this answer, I'd:

1. Add a custom button/link to the task page.
2. Make this button as described in the link - it's a self removed javascript package. The button will disappear after executing it's Javascript.
3. In the Javascript in the button, find the element by the lkid_XXXXXXXXXXX id - (if a standard field, it'll have a nice readable id like reminder_set_checked.
4. Modify it's css like this:

--

element.style['-ms-transform'] = 'scale(2)';
element.style['-moz-transform'] = 'scale(2)';
element.style['-webkit-transform'] = 'scale(2)';
element.style['-o-transform'] = 'scale(2)';
element.style['padding'] = '10px';

Profit!!!

NOTE - name the button something descriptive like "Javascript Injector For Task Layout" so that people aren't scratching their heads about why the button is bigger.
