Well, preloaded apps can't be uninstalled unless you root your LG-P659. To root your LG-P659, you can try some Android root tools, like Root Genius, Kingo, MobileGo, etc. The root process is as simple as one click. Just download and install one of them and follow the steps in the interface of tool. You can handle it. After rooting, you get the power to uninstall the preloaded apps. Go to Settings > Application manager. tap the preloaded app you want to uninstall and click Uninstall to get it off your LG-P659.
Do note that removing pre-loaded apps won't free space for you, as they live in a different partition (though removing updates to them should). You should be able to disable most of them without root (Settings >Apps >All, select app, select disable) and that plus uninstalling updates to them will have the same effect.
Do make sure you know what is safe to remove or even disable before doing it (though disable is safer as it is more easily reversible).

I'm guessing your problem is KitKat (Android 4.4) SD card restrictions, though you don't say what Android version you are using. If so the problem is the security model only allows apps to write to directories that they own. The work-arounds that I'm aware of do require root, but as my current phone doesn't have an SD slot I've no direct experience of them, so not the best person to advise. If your file manager can create a new folder of its own on the SD card I'd guess it might be able to move the pictures, but that is purely a guess. If not then you will either have to root (as Selena describes) or wait for Android 5, where I've read that the user is supposed to have more control over this.
Rooting procedures are device-specific, and I've no experience of this device. You should be able to find more information in the forum for your device, http://androidforums.com/forums/lg-optimus-f3.2307/. If you look at the top of that page you'll see 3 links to "All Things Root" forums for different versions of that phone: pick the right one for your phone and there should be something in there. Do make sure you understand what you are doing before you try it.
If you are not running 4.4, then please tell us how you are trying to move your photos, because on earlier versions I can't think of any reason you can't do it.
