Well it's already been done five times, but this is what I did: http://jsfiddle.net/YnM2f/27/
$('input').click(function(){
if( $(this).is(':checked') ){
$(this).parent('p').prevAll().children('input').attr('checked',true)
}
})

This will check all checkboxes above a checkboxe that gets checked and uncheck all checkboxes above a checkbox that gets unchecked, given the checkbox layout that you've provided.
$('input:checkbox').click(function () {
var state = $(this).prop('checked');
var elements;
if (state) {
elements = $(this).parent().prevAll();
} else {
elements = $(this).parent().nextAll();
}
elements.each(function () {
$('input:checkbox', this).prop('checked',state);
});
});

Try something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/YnM2f/16/
It's a very specific solution (as in it will only work with "G"), but it should give you an idea for how to customize this code to meet your needs.
$('input:checkbox').filter(function(){
return (/ G/).test($(this).parent().text())
}).on('change', function() {
var gBox = $(this);
$('input:checkbox').prop('checked', $(gBox).prop('checked'));
});

First you need to get all the checkboxes based on which one is clicked. for this you need to get the parent nodes, siblings that are before it. Here is some code that will help you get there, but you'll need to work on it to make it work for you.
$("input:checkbox").on("click",function(){
if(this.checked)
$(this).parent().prevAll().each(function(){
$("input:checkbox",this).attr("checked",true);
});
});

$('input:checkbox').change(function(){
var $allParents = $(this).parent();
$allParents.prevAll().find('input').attr('checked', 'checked');
$allParents.nextAll().find('input').removeAttr('checked');
});
Try this
