1)Stop going to Mandir (temple)
2)believe in your mind that Hindu Gods do not exist.
3)Get rid of Hindu Symbols.
4) Eat beef.
It is your personal choice whether you believe in God or not.

I read an article on one of the wire services about a large group of Hindus from the lowest caste in India converting to Buddhism to get out from under that oppression.
Seems to me that you can just "quit" any time you want by not practicing it and not observing their holidays and festivals. Don't be surprised when someone asks you why, or what you have converted to.
What matters most is your own personal spirituality and connection to God.

I think that's really tricky, seeing how the diversity of hindu beliefs and practices is so vast. Also there is a considerable ethnic and cultural part to it. Stopping to be a hindu is a bit like stopping to be a Jew... you can't ever really.
here is an interesting page, though, on atheist hinduism:

No, there is no legal way. Or you can just stop being a Hindu, now thats a thought.
Oh, and the brightest of blessings to you.
