Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

If you want to decrypt your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. This can be done via Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.

I am not sure you will be able to backup if you are encrypted though.
