I do not think you can uninstall system apps (for good reasons).
User applications are installed under /data/app or app-private (which is
writable), while system apps are under /system/app, which is ro.
The way to deal with this is to respond to the same intents: so if you app
is actually better than the system app, a user will make this the default
(after being  offered the choice).
That is better than you deciding that your app is better (you would,
wouldn't you).
