    Depending on how long the ink has been on there, a soft pencil eraser may do the trick. If that does not work, you can try fine-grit sandpaper (200-400 grit) and alternate using an eraser. Although this will usually do the trick, you can end up leaving the paper slightly damaged. Be careful and use patience to decrease the damage to the paper.

    Assuming you are trying to remove the ink from paper, you have a couple of options. You can try nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, or lemon juice to remove the ballpoint pen ink. Dip a cotton swab into your product of choice and rub it into the ink you are trying to erase. Be sure to only use a small amount of your product so you do not end up oversaturating the paper.
