Even if you were outside, in arctic weather, without airflow generated by the fan your computer would overheat within minutes. Wouldn't it be easier to just purchase the $5 part and replace it? Since your laptop does not have a fan controller, you will be unable to turn off the fan, with the hardware you have. The fan in question, does not have a device driver, you will be unable to disable it within Device Manager.

No, it is not possible through Device Manager. Some BIOSes will allow you to throttle it, but I've never seen one that will allow you to turn it off completely due to overheating.
You should always run the internal fan as it removes heat from the CPU, without which, the CPU would fry. I recommend getting some compressed air and blowing out the fan/vents.

Some fans do provide support for changing the speed or disabling the fan though. If your computer supports that, you should be able to turn the fans off or down low with a utility such as speedfan.
That being said, I would strongly advise that you do not ever do this. Seriously, you'll burn out your CPU in no time. It doesn't matter how cold it is in the room, if it's not designed for passive cooling it will overheat in short order without air flow. You would be much better off spending the 15 minutes it would take to clean out or replace the fan. Or if you really can't be bothered, at least go buy a can of air duster and blow the fans and heatsinks out. You don't even need to open the case.
