Nope. Just crontab -e as your user and you should be able to edit your cron table -- unless you're not in the cron group, in which case it will tell you that.
Each user gets their own crontab, so you could crontab -e as a different user and they'd have their own entirely separate list of cron stuff.
To delete it later, crontab -e and just delete that line.
