So if i understood it right, you want to make the parent null for that object, its simple: transform.parent = null;

I did a similar thing a while back in my game. A solution that I found was this. First, reference your game object to locate the object you want to enable/disable in the Start() function. To do this, use: m_GameObject = GameObject.Find("ObjectName");

afterward, you'd want to call some sort of function to disable the object, like so:

void EnableAndDisableObject()

 {
     if (m_GameObject.activeSelf)
     {
         m_GameObject.SetActive(false);
     }
     else (!m_GameObject.activeSelf)
     {
         m_GameObject.SetActive(true);
     }
 }

I set this function to be a toggle so if you need to reactivate it, you can call this same function again. Hope this helps!
