The only way to really disable secure boot is from the bios. If you can get an app like Be My Eyes or 
something then that might be worth pursuing. There is a tab in windows to help you get started, but it will 
end up taking you to the UEFI interface, anyway.
If there are others with better ideas, please do speak up, though.
