I'm not going to quote it but anyone can lower there SR in order to receive spells. Because of this a caster can always choose to ignore their own SR when casting spells that hit themself. The opposite is NOT true however; a caster SR may not be strong enough to prevent one of their own spells from working against them. Examples: Wizard casts Mass Haste. Chooses to lower SR and accept spell so no problems. Wizard casts Fireball at target 10' away and is in the blast radius. In this case the caster's SR is not certain to protect him from damage and SR should be rolled as usual.

Though the spirit of the rules may seem like "your own SR is always good for you," it looks to me like as written you'd better have a good Reflex save if you want to cast a fireball at your feet, because spell resistance will do nothing for you. You're on your own for figuring out spell immunity/magic immunity versus one's own spells.
