Set this property of UIWebview

yourWebView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeNone;

First set delegate to UIWebView when you want to use this method...

[self.webview setDelegate:sethere];

after that you can use the shouldStartLoadWithRequest: delegate method of UIWebView in which you add this type of logic to disable hyperlinks like bellow...

 -(BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType;
 {

            NSURL *loadURL = [[request URL]retain];
            //change next line to whatever condition you need, e.g.
            //[[loadURL relativeString]  ....] contains a certain substring 
            //or starts with certain letter or ...
            if([[loadURL scheme] isEqualToString: @"file"])
            {
               [loadURL release]; 
            return TRUE;
            }
            [loadURL release];
            return FALSE;
  }

Also see the Reference from this webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType link

i hope this help you....

You can't change the content inside the UIWebView but you can disable the UIWebView responding to the links inside it by giving the UIWebView a delegate and implement the following in your code:

webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType: delegate method to return NO;
