You would need to locate the specific lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
Open the sources file with some editor while using sudo, such as vim (I personally use nano, but you can use whatever you want):
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
Locate the lines which contain the broken link, and remove them. Save the files, then run sudo apt-get update after you save the file and close out the editor. Your sources will be updated to work with the non-broken repositories.
Note that if the lines don't show up in /etc/apt/sources.list then they'll exist in other files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ in which case you'll have to go through the files in that directory and comment out the broken source definition there.

4Note: it is possible that the repositories are not only written in the single file /etc/apt/sources.list, but distributed in several files (one per repository) inside the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ – bitwelder Apr 20 '11 at 17:21

True, but the first place to look would be `/etc/apt/sources.list` – Thomas Ward Apr 20 '11 at 20:36
