Here are the contents of my advancedsettings.xml:

<advancedsettings>
<lookandfeel>
<skin>skin.custom</skin>
</lookandfeel>
</advancedsettings>

This removed the skin selection option from my appearancesettings window and my custom skin is selected by default.

Now, if I want to open the skin selection dialog on click event of a button during development, what to write on the <onclick> event of that button?

not possible with built-in commands. (don´t know if it can be done with a script)

I also wanted some functionality like this. Does anyone know a way to access the settings disabled due to entries in advancedsettings.xml, through python script?

I found a built-in function in xbmc 11.0 Eden named Addon.Default.Set. It has not been documented on wiki yet. I found it in xbmc-11.0/xbmc/interfaces/builtins.cpp file.

It was not fully functional. Little change in the source code was needed to make it work. And it's working really well.

patch welcome if there is a bug.
