Assuming that you want to remove the wallpaper: Then score the surface using a wallpaper scoring tool found at most paint supply stores. I like the round one with red handle, I think it's called a "Paper Tiger." Then spray the wall using a garden sprayer filled with wallpaper remover that you can buy at any paint supply store and warm water. Let it sit for a while, you might need to spray it several times. Then start peeling the wallpaper off. In some cases you will need to scrape it off using a 6" or 4" wall knife.
If you just want to remove the paint from the wallpaper, then use a chemical paint remover like has been suggested above. Be sure to wear a respirator for those though.
Good luck.

Scrape a horizontal line through the wallpaper and paint at the top of the wall.Use hot water in a spray bottle set at fine mist.It will come right off if you get the mist under the paper.

Chemical thinner can help you to remove the paint. That is available from the paint and hardware dealers.
