What are you trying to accomplish?
That is such a low performing cpu cooler that you probably ought to just throw it away.

Not sure the fan can be removed without breaking, but I would just use a can of compressed air and aim the nozzle between the fan blades.

Well it looks like it is not meant to be removed buut all you need to do is figure out how to get the metal things at the bottom off. the long screw will come out once you remove the washer type things that are right above the threads that go into the motherboard. Not sure if you pry them off you can get them back on would have to look closer.

so there no ways to remove it?

There is, perhaps a confusion in terminology.
In the US, a cpu cooler consists of a heat sink and a fan to cool the heat sink.
Some people call the whole combination a fan.

If you mean you want to remove the cooler from the cpu for whatever reason, the key is to run the cpu a bit first so it gets hot and softens the thermal paste so the cooler will not stick when you remove it.
Leave the cpu attached to the motherboard.

If you mean that the fan on the cooler is dirty, just clean it with canned air or a moist cleaning cloth.
No need to unmount the whole cooler.
