By 'continue', do you mean it should cause a controller action to fire, or you do you mean it should just control whether or not the checkbox gets checked? – LaceySnr♦ Feb 6 at 5:10
By continue I mean that checkbox which which was checked should remain checked otherwise if user selects no then checkbox should be unchecked – sunny kapoor Feb 6 at 5:59

you should call a javascript function on checkbox's onclick event like mentioned below - 

onclick="if(confirm( 'Are you sure?')){ return true; } else {return false;};"

You can do this as follows:

      <apex:inputCheckBox value="{!Contact.Apex_Context__c}" 
           onchange="if ( (this.checked) && (!confirm('Are you sure?')) ){this.checked=false}"/>

A couple of points to note:

(1) I've assumed you only want the confirmation when the user checks the box, not when they clear it. (2) I've only tested this in chrome.

not working I added this visualforce page in the layout by keeping this in form tag,but when I checked the checkbox,no msg is displayed. – sunny kapoor Feb 6 at 12:38
This worked for me in chrome - what browser are you using? Also, when you say you added the VF page in the layout - are you expecting this to interact with a checkbox on a standard page? – Bob Buzzard Feb 6 at 12:41
I am using chrome, and yes i want it to interact with the standard page here is the code: <apex:page standardController="custom object"> <apex:form> <apex:inputCheckBox value="{!Custom obj.custom field}" onchange="if ( (this.checked) && (!confirm('Are you sure?')) ){this.checked=false}"/> </apex:form> </apex:page> – sunny kapoor Feb 6 at 13:01
The visualforce is disconnected from the standard page. If you check the box on the standard page, that won't have any effect on the visualforce elements. – Bob Buzzard Feb 6 at 13:07
