Answers:
You are allowed to dispute any incorrect information on your credit reports. But, old addresses do not effect your credit and erasing them will not really improve it.

Are these addresses you lived at, at one time and no longer live there? Or are these addresses that are slight variations of your current/previous address. If so removing is really not necessary.

If they are truly incorrect addresses you can send a dispute in to have them removed. Generally you will need to show proof of your current address to show you never lived at the listed one(s). It may be a case of just a data error, or you may have some attempt of Indentity Theft. If this is the case you need to make sure that every account is yours to be sure people are not opening up accounts in your name and having the bills sent to a different address.


Edit from additional Info:
Below is a link that will give you some sample letters. There are tons of other sites you can do a search on to find different variations.
You have to dispute it as you would any other erroneous information of your report.
