Answer 1

Here is what you want:

HTML

<table class="table" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th style="text-align:left" colspan="9"><strong> Color: </strong>

            </th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <input type="checkbox" />
                <label class="btn"> <span>A</span> 
                </label>
            </td>
            <td>
                <input type="checkbox" />
                <label class="btn"> <span>B</span> 
                </label>
            </td>
            <td>
                <input type="checkbox" />
                <label class="btn"> <span>C</span> 
                </label>
            </td>
            <td>
                <input type="checkbox" />
                <label class="btn"> <span>D</span> 
                </label>
            </td>
            <td>
                <input type="checkbox" />
                <label class="btn"> <span>E</span> 
                </label>
            </td>
            <td>
                <input type="checkbox" />
                <label class="btn"> <span>F</span> 
                </label>
            </td>
            <td>
                <input type="checkbox" />
                <label class="btn"> <span>G</span> 
                </label>
            </td>
            <td>
                <input type="checkbox" />
                <label class="btn"> <span>H</span> 
                </label>
            </td>
            <td>
                <input type="checkbox" />
                <label class="btn"> <span>I</span> 
                </label>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

CSS

.table {
    width: 100%;
}
.table caption {
    font-size: 15px;
    font-weight: 700;
    text-align: left;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    color: #333;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}
.table thead {
    background-color: #444;
}
.table thead tr th {
    padding: 10px;
    font-weight: 700;
    color: #f2f2f2;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}
.table thead tr th:first-child {
    text-align: left;
}
.table tbody {
    background-color: #fcfcfc;
}
.table tbody tr td {
    padding: 10px;
    text-align: left;
}
.table tbody tr td:first-child {
    text-align: left;
    color: #333;
    font-weight: 700;
}
.table tbody tr:nth-of-type(odd) {
    background: #eee;
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 767px) {
    .table tbody {
        border: 0;
    }
    .table tbody tr {
        margin-bottom: 10px;
        display: block;
        border-bottom: 2px solid #ffffd;
    }
    .table tbody td {
        display: block;
        text-align: right;
        font-size: 13px;
        border-bottom: 1px dotted #ccc;
    }
    .table tbody td:last-child {
        border-bottom: 0;
    }
    .table tbody td:before {
        content: attr(data-label);
        float: left;
        text-transform: uppercase;
        font-weight: bold;
    }
}

As you can see there is a media query for phones and tablets min-width 320 to max width 767

Basically, turn the table from desktop viewing

to phone/tablet viewing

Answer 2

You can use a media-query to set the divs as display: block;. Demo

Leave the css you have for the larger displays, then use the media-query to target the smaller ones. I would recommend wrapping the label and checkbox together also to keep them from breaking apart:

HTML

<div class="table-cell">
    <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" />
    <label class="btn"> <span>A</span> 
    </label>
</div>

CSS

.table {
    display: table;
    width: 100%;
}

.table-row {
    display: table-row;
    width: 100%;
}

.table-cell {
    display: table-cell;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 479px) {
    .table, .table-row {
        display: block;
    }
    .table-cell {
        display:inline-block;
    }
}

You may need to change the alignment of the labels to your liking.
