Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. In the Add/Remove Programs window select the Show Update check box; scroll down to whichever update you wish to remove and highlight it with your mouse. A Change/Remove button will appear; click on it.

Caution: if you do not disable Automatic Updates those updates will download and install once again. If they are security updates then you really do not want to remove them.
