Can I disable exceptions in STL?

You need to use an STL that supports exception deactivation. This is generally a compile-time macro definition.

Unless I am mistaken, STLPort offers this with _STLP_USE_EXCEPTIONS=0 and _STLP_NO_EXCEPTIONS. I don't know how the programs behave with these settings. ;)

I think there is some hidden flag in the MS STL as well.

The EASTL comes out of the box with exceptions disabled:
