It isn't possible as it will blow away the essence of databases: the transactional mechanism.
Also you will be unable to recover your database (which is an automatic rollforward and an automatic rollback)
If you think your app will gain performance, you are mistaken. There are so many areas of Oracle you can tune, that you simply shouldn't ask this question before you have tuned all these other areas. In my 10+ years experience the rollback segments *never* were a *real unresovable* problem, and you won't gain anything by disabling them, except you will be fired when something really goes wrong.
