Part of the source for these objects is automatically created when you generate your lift app using the Maven archetype. For example, you'll find the source to the User class unde src/main/scala/com/liftworkshop/model/User.scala.
For classes that are part of the framework, such as MegaProtoUser etc. you'll find the source on Github at http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/ and more specifically look at ProtoUser.scala under http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/tree/master/lift-persistence/lift-mapper/src/main/scala/net/liftweb/mapper/. Also be sure to select the branch of Lift that you are using in order to avoid confusion.
