remove css :hover attribute with jquery

Lets say I have

<style>
    #container:hover{background:red}
</style>
<div id="container"><input type="submit"></div>

When I hover on submit, #container is still red. Can I remove that :hover on input mouseover with jquery? I do not want to change bg $('#container').css('backgroundColor','color'), I need something like $('#container').removeAttr('hover').
