Can I use jquery to remove/negate css !important rule?
Unfortunately, you cannot override !important without using !important as inline/internal style below the included theirs.css.
You can define a !important style and add it to .stubborn then adjust the opacity.. See below,
CSS:
div.hidden_block_el {
display: block !important;
opacity: 0;
}
JS:
$('.stubborn')
.addClass('hidden_block_el')
.animate({opacity: 1});
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/jjWJT/1/
Alternate approach (inline),
$('.stubborn')
.attr('style', 'display: block !important; opacity: 0;')
.animate({opacity: 1});

Overriding !important with css or jquery
Here you go:
$( '.someclass' ).each(function () {
this.style.setProperty( 'border', 'none', 'important' );
});
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Gtr54/
The .setProperty method of an element's style object enables you to pass a third argument which represents the priority. So, you're overriding an !important value with your own !important value. As far as I know, it is not possible to set the !important priority with jQuery, so your only option is the built-in .setProperty method.
Extend jquery.css function to override !important styles
If the browser supports Proxy (ES6), you can use this plugin:
if ( // Check browser support
window.Proxy
&& window.CSSStyleDeclaration
&& CSSStyleDeclaration.prototype.setProperty
) {
jQuery.cssHooks = new Proxy(jQuery.cssHooks, {
get: function(hooks, name) {
return new Proxy(hooks[name] || (hooks[name] = {}), {
has: function (hook, setget) {
return setget === 'set' || setget in hook;
},
get: function (hook, setget){
if(setget !== 'set') return hook[setget];
return function(elem, value, extra) {
// Use the cssHook setter, if any
if(hook.set) {
value = hook.set(elem, value, extra);
if(value === void 0) return; // No value
}
// Set the desired value without !important
elem.style[ name ] = value;
// Get the computed value
var computedValue = jQuery.css(elem, name);
// Check if the computed value is the desired one
if(computedValue === value) return; // OK
// Set the desired value with !important
elem.style.setProperty(name, value, "important");
// Check if the computed value has changed
if(computedValue !== jQuery.css(elem, name)) return; // OK
// Otherwise !important is not needed, so remove it
elem.style.setProperty(name, value);
}
}
});
}
});
}
// Plugin compiled with Closure Compilerwindow.Proxy&&window.CSSStyleDeclaration&&CSSStyleDeclaration.prototype.setProperty&&(jQuery.cssHooks=new Proxy(jQuery.cssHooks,{get:function(f,b){return new Proxy(f[b]||(f[b]={}),{has:function(b,a){return"set"===a||a in b},get:function(e,a){return"set"!==a?e[a]:function(d,c,a){if(e.set&&(c=e.set(d,c,a),void 0===c))return;d.style[b]=c;a=jQuery.css(d,b);a!==c&&(d.style.setProperty(b,c,"important"),a===jQuery.css(d,b)&&d.style.setProperty(b,c))}}})}}));
// The elements in the collection that need !important will use it$('.color').css('color', 'blue');
// The plugin is compatible with custom cssHooks$.cssHooks.opacity.set = function(elem, value) { return value/4 + '' };$('.opacity').css('opacity', .8);.color { color: red;}.color.important { color: red !important;}.opacity.important { opacity: 1 !important;}<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Most of these answers are now outdated, IE7 support is not an issue.
The best way to do this that supports IE11+ and all modern browsers is:
const $elem = $("#elem");
$elem[0].style.setProperty('width', '100px', 'important');
Or if you want, you can create a small jQuery plugin that does this.
This plugin closely matches jQuery's own css() method in the parameters it supports:
/**
* Sets a CSS style on the selected element(s) with !important priority.
* This supports camelCased CSS style property names and calling with an object
* like the jQuery `css()` method.
* Unlike jQuery's css() this does NOT work as a getter.
*
* @param {string|Object<string, string>} name
* @param {string|undefined} value
*/
jQuery.fn.cssImportant = function(name, value) {
const $this = this;
const applyStyles = (n, v) => {
// Convert style name from camelCase to dashed-case.
const dashedName = n.replace(/(.)([A-Z])(.)/g, (str, m1, upper, m2) => {
return m1 + "-" + upper.toLowerCase() + m2;
});
// Loop over each element in the selector and set the styles.
$this.each(function(){
this.style.setProperty(dashedName, v, 'important');
});
};
// If called with the first parameter that is an object,
// Loop over the entries in the object and apply those styles.
if(jQuery.isPlainObject(name)){
for(const [n, v] of Object.entries(name)){
applyStyles(n, v);
}
} else {
// Otherwise called with style name and value.
applyStyles(name, value);
}
// This is required for making jQuery plugin calls chainable.
return $this;
};
// Call the new plugin:
$('#elem').cssImportant('height', '100px');
// Call with an object and camelCased style names:
$('#another').cssImportant({backgroundColor: 'salmon', display: 'block'});
// Call on multiple items:
$('.item, #foo, #bar').cssImportant('color', 'red');

Override a CSS rule (needs to be delete)
If you just want the background-position to have no effect on the position of the image, use this:
.ui-icon-radio-off {
background-position: 0 0;
}
But if you want to reset it to what it was supposed to be set to if that default jquery css wasn't there, then you can unset it like this:
.ui-icon-radio-off {
background-position: initial;
}
N.B. You mgiht have to add an !important tag to the above properties if jquery renders the css property below the above property.
Reset/remove CSS styles for element only
The CSS3 keyword initial sets the CSS3 property to the initial value as defined in the spec. The initial keyword has broad browser support except for the IE and Opera Mini families.
Since IE's lack of support may cause issue here are some of the ways you can reset some CSS properties to their initial values:

As mentioned in a comment by @user566245 :
this is correct in principle, but individual mileage may vary. For
example certain elements like textarea by default have a border,
applying this reset will render those textarea's border less.
JAVASCRIPT ?
Nobody thought about other than css to reset css? Yes?
There is that snip fully relevant : https://stackoverflow.com/a/14791113/845310
getElementsByTagName("*") will return all elements from DOM. Then you
may set styles for each element in the collection:
answered Feb 9 '13 at 20:15 by VisioN
var allElements = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
for (var i = 0, len = allElements.length; i < len; i++) {
var element = allElements[i];
// element.style.border = ...
}
With all this said; i don't think a css reset is something feasable unless we end up with only one web browser .. if the 'default' is set by browser in the end.

Is it possible to override / remove background: none!important with jQuery?
Several problems arise in this question.
Problem #1 - css Specificity (how to override important rule).
According to specification - to override this selector your selector should be 'stronger' which mean it should be!important and have at least 1 id, 1 class and something else - according to you creating this selector is impossible(as you can't alter page content). So the only possible option is to put something into element style which (could be done with js). Note: style rule should also have !important to override.
Problem #2 - background is not a single property - it is a set of properties (see specification)
So you really need to know what are exact names of properties you want to change (in your case it would be background-image)
Problem #3 - How to remove rule already applied (to get previous value)?
Unfortunately css have no mechanism to dismiss rule which qualify for an element - only to override with "stronger" rule. So you won't be able to solve this task with just setting value to something like 'inherit' or 'default' cause value you want to see is neither inherit from parent nor default. To solve this problem you have couple of options.
1) You may already know what is the value you want to apply. For example you can find out this value based on selector used. So in this case you may know that for selector ".image-list li" you need background-image: url("http://placekitten.com/150/50"). If so - just you this script:
jQuery(".image-list li").attr('style', 'background-image: url("http://placekitten.com/150/50") !important; ');
2) If you don't know the value then you can try to alter page content in such a way, that rule you want to dismiss is no longer qualify for element, whereas rule you want to be shown - still qualify. In this case you may temporary remove id from container element. Here is the code:
jQuery("#an-element").attr('id', '');
var backgroundImage = jQuery(".image-list li").css('background-image');
jQuery("#an-element").attr('id', 'an-element');
jQuery(".image-list li").attr('style', 'background-image: ' + backgroundImage + ' !important; ');
Here is link to fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/o3jn9mzo/
3) As third solution - you may generate element which will qualify for desired selection to find out property value - something like this:
var backgroundImage = jQuery("<div class='image-list'><li></li></div>").find('li').css('background-image');
jQuery(".image-list li").attr('style', 'background-image: ' + backgroundImage + ' !important; ');
P.S.: Sorry for really late response.
