You can do this by drafting a Codicil and attaching it to your Will. A Codicil is drafted in the same form as a Will. Simply make a change to the section regarding beneficiaries. It should state clearly which article (or gift) of the Will is being removed from the Will. You must sign, have it notarized and attach it to you existing will. Depending on how long ago you made your initial will, you might want to review and perhaps draft a new one which will include the statement that any previous wills are null and void.
