Usually you put some extra pipe between things so you can cut the pipe and reattach it to something else if you need to. That's the cheapest way. If you haven't done that you could try the techniques discussed here: http://forums.sscentral.org/t5080/

If you plan on reusing the fittings, there's not much you can do besides drilling away the PVC pipe inside and hoping it leaves a smooth, flat bore. You can replace fittings if you've left enough space to cut out the old one and stick in the remaining length of pipe.

I would just go back to the store and buy new parts. If you didn't leave sections of pipe between you fittings, this is the only option. When you PVC cement stuff, it's permanent. I don't think it's worth the extra effort unless the parts were horribly expensive.
