By combining Euler's formula with the integral expression for the Γ function, we have, for n>1
0sin(xn)dx=(1n)!sinπ2n
and0cos(xn)dx=(1n)!cosπ2n
Given the fact that your integral is indefinite, its expression is very similar, but it involves the incomplete Γ function, rather than the classical one.

First note that
sin(x3)dx=12(ieix3dxieix3dx)
For the first integral
I1=ieix3dx
change variables with u=ix3, x=iu3 and
dx=13iduu23
then
I1=13u23eudu
Now with the incomplete gamma function
γ(s,z)=0zts1etdt
we can write I1 as
I1=13(u)23u23γ(13,u)
and substituting back u=ix3
I1=(ix3)23u23γ(13,ix3)
Similarly for the second integral
I2=ieix3dx
we have
I2=(ix3)233x2γ(13,ix3)
Finally
sin(x3)dx
=(ix3)23γ(13,ix3)+(ix3)23γ(13,ix3)6x2+C

How to integrate:
sin(x3)dx
Start with a series representation for:
f(x)=sin(x)
The taylor's series representation of sin(x):
f(x)=sin(x)=n=0(1)n(2n+1)!x2n+1
Substitute xx3
f(x3)=sin(x3)=n=0(1)n(2n+1)!(x3)2n+1
Integrate:
I=f(x3)dx=sin(x3)dx=(n=0(1)n(2n+1)!(x3)2n+1)dx)
I=n=0((1)n(2n+1)!(x6n+3dx))
I=n=0(1)nx6n+4(2n+1)!(6n+4)+C
