In the actual game, there's not a lot you can do immediately. The quickest way is to set the city to building settlers until it disbands itself, since each settler removes 1 population point. Or, you could try starving the city: turn all the citizens into entertainers or taxmen/scientists if it's large enough for it, and watch as its food storage reduces turn by turn.

If you are using cheat mode (either to beat the game easily, or to make a scenario) then you can disband a city by first destroying all units inside it (hit Control+Shift+D) and then highlighting the city itself and hitting SHIFT+D.
