on a lot of cars u can just unhook one of the battery cables for a few minutes and the light will stay out.
The check engine light is illuminated because there is a problem with one or more of the control devices on the engine. A responsible way of having this taken care of, would be to take it to a shop where they can repair the vehicle.
You can go to autozone, they will read the code for you, then then to clear it. If it keeps coming back I'd go to a garage at that point.
