How do I uninstall or deactvate the app?

Which app?
In general, go to Settings > Apps > All, find the app, and select either uninstall or disable. Pre-installed apps can't be uninstalled without rooting, but most can be disabled. Any that can't should only be critical apps, though some carriers have doubtless added bloatware to that category
If you don't have either "uninstall" or "disable" available for an app, you'd need to root to do anything about it (apart from remove it from the desktop and hide it from the app drawer).
