You can do it by mysql setup file of your custom module. Here is the link of an article which has the code to add attribute:-

Magento: Adding attribute from MySql setup file

In the above link article, you will see

'user_defined' => true,

For creating system attribute, you have to make it

'user_defined' => false,

Thanks.

As far as i know the only way to add a system attribute is to do it through database call. You will need to write extension that includes setup installation script for SQL (see any core extension for examples) and use addAttribute method.
