The fat in scones is what makes them light and crumbly, as opposed to rock-like. You may be able to reduce the fat content slightly (if it's quite a high proportion of fat to flour, you should be able to reduce the fat by about 1/4 -1/3), but the scones will not have a pleasant texture if all of the fat is removed. If you just want to cut down the fat content, try using margarine. Margarine still results in scones with a reasonable texture, but since it contains more liquid than butter, you will probably need to reduce the amount of milk that you add when you form a dough. (Otherwise the dough is very sloppy).
