I want to configure quotas on Windows 2008 R2 but when I try to set the value to 50GB (50000000ko) it throws an error which says that the maximum have been reached and the value is set to 30GB :

Limitation warning image

I try this solution :

<policy name="LimitSize" class="User" displayName="$(string.LimitSize)" explainText="$(string.LimitSize_Help)" presentation="$(presentation.LimitSize)" key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" valueName="EnableProfileQuota">
      <parentcategory ref="UserProfiles" />
      <supportedon ref="windows:SUPPORTED_Win2k" />
      <elements>
        <text id="SizeMessage" valueName="ProfileQuotaMessage" />
        <decimal id="ProfileSize" valueName="MaxProfileSize" required="true" minValue="300" maxValue="30000000" />
        <boolean id="IncludeRegInProQuota" valueName="IncludeRegInProQuota" />
        <boolean id="WarnUser" valueName="WarnUser" />
        <decimal id="WarnUserTimeout" valueName="WarnUserTimeout" required="true" />
      </elements>
</policy>

on the file %SystemRoot%\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\UserProfiles.admx but it's locked...

So, how can I overcross this ?

If group policy is imposing a limit, the only way to change that limit is to edit the policy. It sounds like you are not an administrator on your computer or domain. Therefore, you will not be able to make this change on your own.
