you need to run CMD.exe as admin try following

        Process p = new Process();
        p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
        p.StartInfo.Verb = "runas";
        p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
        p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
        p.Start();

        p.StandardInput.WriteLine(@"/c xcopy d:\123.png C:\windows\system32");

You can check This post which shows how to run program as admin.

Access Denied may be caused by several reasons, such as user permissions or file being in use. Since the command line seems to be OK, I suggest to check whether your application was run by a Windows user that has permission to write to C:\windows\system32.

you probably dont have enough permissions....

try adding credentials : 

    Process p = new Process();
    process.StartInfo.UserName = "aaaa";  
    process.StartInfo.Password = "xxxxx";
...
...

also , verify that :

read permissions for : d:\123.png

write permissions for : C:\windows\system32
