I bought my first home with a fha mortgage loan. I wanted to know if there is any way I could have my insurance and my taxes not to be included in my mortgage payment?

yes and then at the first or second month of the year they readjust the payments ... sometimes they take more to ensure all will be covered.

Very bad Idea, keep your taxes and insurance in your mortgage payment. This is how people get into Tax foreclosure and a Tax liens intrest is some time as high as 30% depending on how many years you get behind. The county can foreclose even if your mtg payment are current. Why would you want to pay your insurance and taxes yourself?

Once your account is set up with an escrow account, you can't stop this "service." The only way to change that is to refinance and even then you'd have to have an 80% or lower LTV (loan to value) ratio.
You are paying a monthly mortgage insurance premium (insurance that protects the lender in the event you default) since it's an FHA insured loan, but you can't stop paying that either until you reach the 80% LTV threshold (and then only when you request it in writing).
Hope that helps. Best of luck.
