I did this

sudo chflags hidden /mach_kernel

in mach_kernel file of mountain lion, typing it in terminal, in order to make it invisible for me. I did this to avoid accidentally delete it.

I do not know terminal commands, so, can somebody tell me how to undo it?
I want to make it visible again.

From the chflags man page :

Putting the letters ``no'' before or removing the letters ``no'' from a
keyword causes the flag to be cleared. For example:

nouchg clear the user immutable flag (owner or super-user only)
dump clear the nodump flag (owner or super-user only)
Click to expand...

Make it visible again :

Code: 
sudo chflags nohidden /mach_kernel
