You can logout of your Apple Account (formerly called Apple ID) but you cannot ‘disconnect’ it from that MacBook without completely erasing and restoring it, making sure you have a current and viable backup of your data first. The Apple Account used to originally activate the MacBook is locked to it as a theft deterrent.
