I want to be able to disable and then uninstall a module programmatically on my local environment and then easily push that code to prod so everything gets updated.
I'm guessing it's something with the hook_update_N. But not sure where to start.

Think I found the answer! Within the modules .install file, I added this code:
/**
* Disable and uninstall the module.
*/
function MODULE_update_7200() {
if( module_exists('MODULE')) {
module_disable(array('MODULE'));
drupal_uninstall_modules(array('MODULE'));
}
}
The number in the function should reflect your drupal install. See how to number them here: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/function/hook_update_N/7

Drupal 8
In Drupal 8 this is only one step now.
To be placed inside MYMODULE.install:
/**
* Uninstall Field UI.
*/
function MYMODULE_update_8001(&$sandbox) {
\Drupal::service('module_installer')->uninstall(['field_ui']);
}

For anyone wondering, this also works in Drupal 9. Even when starting the update number with an 800X.
you can use drush and forcefully uninstall the module just like the following:
drush eval "\$module_data = \Drupal::config('core.extension')->get('module'); unset(\$module_data['MODULE_NAME']); \Drupal::configFactory()->getEditable('core.extension')->set('module', \$module_data)->save();"

In Drupal 8 you can use configuration API to enable and disable modules.
For example, if you want to enable devel module. You have to add following code to the core.extension.yml
devel: 0
If you want to uninstall you have to remove devel: 0 from the core.extension.yml

This is step 2. Step 1 would be to have it exported initially
drush cex. Then your step. And then step 3: re-import the config drush cim. But actually that's not what OP is asking for. The question is: programmatically.

In some circumstances it may not be possible to do a configuration import without first disabling a module in an update hook.
