You should probably be linking to your stylesheet instead of embedding it:
<LINK href="/lib/lallous.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Then you can just make the link change temporarily, and point it to an empty file.

linear's suggestion is the best way but if you want a quick and dirty way, just comment out the style block like this:

<!--style type='text/css'>
body { font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; }
.answer { font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; color: #0000ff }
.rqdtext { font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #ff0000 }
.title { font-family: verdana; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; }
li { font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; }
td { font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; }
</style-->

If you mean in the middle of the page ie:
<your style>
<default style>
<your style>

then you will need to create default classes with default styles and use those.
you can't drop out of your css and go back (I'm pretty sure but I've been wrong before)

Also people can set their own browser defaults though most don't. You can't set back to these values.

linear and bugimus...
I'm wanted to change/disable the style sheet effect during runtime actually,

like for examples events can be turned off for a while,

old_onload = onload;
onload = new function("return;");

Unfortunately, styles and HTML aren't dynamic, and don't really have a "run time". Either you're using styles, or you're not. There's no <dont use styles> </dont use styles> tag.

What you *can* do, however, is use classes to specify differences in styles throughout your page.

<style type="text/css">
P {color:red;}
P.regular {color:black;}
</style>

<p>this is a styled paragraph! It's red!</p>
<p class="regular">This paragraph is more regular.</p>
<p>This paragraph, however, is red again!</p>

See?
Unfortunately I'm not sure there's a way to use the *user's* default styles automatically. You just have to sort of specify what's generic... black, times new roman, 12 pt font.

"Unfortunately, styles and HTML aren't dynamic, and don't really have a "run time".

Well, you can change them after the document loads. I do it on my page, and here's the relevant stuff:

CSSbody = document.styleSheets[0].rules.item(0);
// my body rule is the zeroth rule in my zeroth stylesheet--make sure yours is, or change the numbers accordingly.
CSSbody.style.color = 'red'; // change the textcolor to red
CSSbody.style.backgroundColor = 'green'; // change the background to green

You could wrap those lines up in a function and call it at will.
(I suggest you name it eyestrain() if you use my colors....)

Edit: line breaks added for clarity

You'll notice I said "styles and HTML", not "JavaScript"! Heh =) JavaScript certainly makes a page dynamic, and you could say it has a "run time". But that doesn't really help with this particular situation... I don't think (although I may be wrong) that lallous was referring to anything happening *after* the page had loaded.
