document.getElementById("MyID").className =
    document.getElementById("MyID").className.replace(/\bMyClass\b/,'');

where MyID is the ID of the element and MyClass is the name of the class you wish to remove.

UPDATE: To support class names containing dash character, such as "My-Class", use

document.getElementById("MyID").className =
  document.getElementById("MyID").className
    .replace(new RegExp('(?:^|\\s)'+ 'My-Class' + '(?:\\s|$)'), ' ');
