In my environment, the find-file is remapped to ido-find-file. How could I cancel the remap and just get the non-Ido version?

(define-key KEYMAP [remap find-file] nil)
where KEYMAP is the keymap where the remapping was done. For example, it might be the variable global-map.
The keymap is apparently not accessible directly by a variable, but it is the cdr of the cons that is pointed to by variable ido-minor-mode-map-entry. So this should pretty much do it:
(define-key (cdr ido-minor-mode-map-entry) [remap find-file] nil)
(That assumes that ido-mode has been called at least once. If not, call it. ;-))
In sum, you bind the remapping of find-file to nil, which means that you give it no binding (you unbind it). Binding to nil is how you unbind a key generally. In this case, the "key" to be unbound is [remap find-file], which is a pseudo-key, a remapping.

I think the
define-keyfunction need a key map which I can't figure out what the proper one for this case.– Enze ChiCommented Apr 23, 2015 at 0:42 -
Almost certainly
global-map(in which case you could alternatively just useglobal-set-keyin place ofdefine-key).– philsCommented Apr 23, 2015 at 0:46 -

It's not
global-map, ido does it in a bit unconventional (to me) way. It does not have a globally accessiblemapdefvar. It has aletboundmapand it adds (cons 'ido-mode map)` directly tominor-mode-map-alist. So we'd need to get cdr of the element from that alist whose car isido-mode, modify that and put that modified map back in alist. Is there a simpler way? Commented Apr 23, 2015 at 2:15
Normally, you do that with (ido-mode -1).

2The OP probably doesn't want to disable
ido-modebut also doesn't want it to remapfind-file; probably wants to bindido-find-fileto something else? Commented Apr 23, 2015 at 13:18 -
C-x C-flaunchesido-find-fileifido-modeis enabled. But hittingC-fafter that will callfind-file; so you simply doC-x C-f C-fforfind-fileandC-x C-fforido-find-file.
