If you have a lisenced installation disk you have two simple options:

1. Install it in a virtual machine through virtualbox. This makes it so you can (and must) run both systems at the same time, but switching is faster.

2. Back up ubuntu onto another storage device, such as a external hard drive. Then install windows, and make sure to wipe the system in the process. Then install ubuntu over windows, rewriting the mbr to use the GRUB bootloader. You can replace your files from the backup.
