There is no option available to detach system database, but you can restore the system databases from backup.

System database can never be detached.
There are specific ways to restore backups of system databases, and it's different for the different system databases. Consult books online for full details.

Hi,
You can reffer below BOL for restoring system databases.

You can detach the model and the msdb database (with trace flag 3608 (-T3608) but you shouldn't even try it as it won't allow you to attach again.
See: http://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/sql-server/13428/sql-dont-start-after-detach-model-and-msdb
