To change the SELinux to disable you can use the below command:

setenforce 0

While this does not replace the config file it will put SELinux into permissive mode until the next reboot, meaning that SELinux is running and logging but not actually controlling permissions.

You can as well try the command:

/usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel-tui

To totally disable it.

sestatus will tell you if SELinux is enabled, as well as a few other characteristics.

can't run it, no command found – Marcin Oct 19 '10 at 12:04
Then it certainly isn't enabled, since it can't be enabled without other utilities found in the same package. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 19 '10 at 14:06

The selinux configuration file path under CentOS is /etc/sysconfig/selinux.
