You can use enumitem and specify the label as ☐ or $\square$ . To find an appropriate symbol, see How to look up a symbol? — Werner, May 23 '13 at 18:51

I was aware of how to change the item bullet, not how to get the box though. I though that this way the question seemed more broad. @Werner Thanks for the link to the symbols table. — Aleksandar Savkov, May 23 '13 at 18:57

For example (last item without changes)

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{latexsym}
\begin{document}

\def\Item{\item[$\Box$]}

\begin{itemize}
\Item
A
\Item 
B
\item
C
\end{itemize}

\end{document}
