Do you mean erasing the whole drive, or just the user's data?
In other words: do you want an empty drive, or a working Mac (booting and
with apps) but without any of your data left?
Giving that the subject line is: "How do I remove an *OS* from a computer, I think
it's pretty plain. The earlier answer about booting from an install disc,
launching Disk Utility, clicking on the desired drive, then erase, and then going
into "Security Options..." and choosing how many times you want it overwritten, is
the answer you're looking for.
