How Do I Disconnect this? (pic included)

How do I disconnect the cable running from the key hole to the locking assembly? (green circles) I want to take the entire hatch assembly out to work on it.

Thanks
Brian

Is it a plug that is designed to come in and out, or do I risk breaking it by prying it open?

It should have two tabs that snap over the lock, just pry them out with a small screwdriver or hook tool while gently
pulling the cable away from the lock.
