Spackling or texture? If it's texture, then http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/rooms-and-spaces/walls-and-ceilings/how-to-remove-a-popcorn-ceiling
Spackle is used to fill in holes.
spray it with water from a squirt bottle, wait a little while until it's softened, use a muddling blade or the largest shackling knife that you can find and scrape it off by going in straight lines
If u wet it it will scrap off easily
Cover everything then spray ceiling with warm water then using a WIDE putty knife to scrape wet spackling off.
