That really isn't a good idea, for two reasons:
1) They are called common dialogs because they are supposed to be common to all applications.
2) The button positions (and indeed the existence of other items) varies from OS to OS. the Open File Dialog for XP is very, very different from it's cousin in Win7 - but the same code generates both. If you just move them, you may make your application unusable on some systems.

If you want to have a specific design of dialog, then create it yourself as a separate form, and use that instead.
