Need to know what kind of headset you've got to be able to answer that. If it's a threaded headset with a quill stem you just need to undo the screw a few turns, then tap the screw down. After that you should be able to pull the stem out and undo the fork by removing the locknut and then the top headset cup.
If it's a threadless fork the compression cap should come off after undoing the top screw, after which you can undo the stem bolts, slide the stem off and the fork should come right out. If something really strange has happened to your compression cap bolt you'll simply have to cut away the compression cap to get the fork out. They're usually quite soft, some are even plastic, so it shouldn't be too bad.

The question is a bit unclear. Usually it's not the fork that's integrated, but the headset. And integrated headsets will only fit in a special kind of head tube not usually found on a standard frame. Forks OTOH can usually take more than one type of headsets.
