Deselecting is removing the selection of a cell. So if a cell is selected and you click onto another cell, the first cell is no longer selected. The exceptions to this are when you have the Ctrl or Shift keys pressed when you click on another cell, or if you hold the mouse button and drag, in which case the original cell will stay selected and you can select more cells.

You can do it several ways. Click onto another cell. Press one of the navigation keys like Home or End or the arrow keys. If you have just done a copy and paste and the source cells are still selected, press the Esc key.

In that case, data changing in the original Access file will not change data in the Excel file. To do that there must be a link between the data.
