You'll have to do that in the advanced system menu of the OUYA. It will take you to the Android settings... from there go to Apps, select the app, and uninstall. Like you'd do on an Android phone if you're familiar.

I'll have to check into what it would take to add an uninstall feature, I don't recall seeing that in any Android file managers before (though I haven't looked extensively).

ES file explorer can, it has an app manager section.

From the code side, something like this should work: (ICS and later, which isn't a problem since this is specifically for the OUYA)

Uri uri = Uri.parse( "package:paulscode.android.mupen64plusae" );
Intent uninstallIntent = new Intent( Intent.ACTION_UNINSTALL_PACKAGE, uri );
startActivity( uninstallIntent );

Also, for getting a list of installed packages, you can use the PackageManager:

PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
List<ApplicationInfo> packages = packageManager.getInstalledApplications( PackageManager.GET_META_DATA );
for( ApplicationInfo packageInfo : packages )
{
    // Do whatever.  For example, package name is in packageInfo.packageName, get launch intent with packageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage( packageInfo.packageName ), etc.
}
