To disable out-of-range coloration of notes: From the menu, select Edit→Preferences... (Mac: MuseScore→Preferences...), click on the "Note Input" tab, and uncheck "Color notes outside of usable pitch range."
Note the color is just for display - they won't print that way. And do be aware those red notes are trying to tell you something. If you the ranges of the people who will be singing the parts and are sure they can hit those notes, then by all means, you may turn off or simply ignore the warning. I find it useful to leave it on. You can also customize the specific ranges for which the warning is produced, via the staff properties dialog, if you'd like to simply broaden the range considered usable.

I am typesetting a musical example from a work by Debussy, who has a baritone singing above middle C. Some sources state that a baritone can sing up to F above middle C and this note is below that. However, Musescore is coloring that note red in a baritone part. A professional opera singer can handle it.

If it's existing music you're dealing with, I'd simply turn off the warnings, since you're not going to do anything about them anyhow. If it were me writing something myself, I'd probably just customize the ranges to reflect what I believed to be appropriate for the audience I was writing for.
