Generally no, it's not possible. Check Settings > Apps > [open up the app]. If it's possible, you will have the option to uninstall updates.

Uninstall the whole app, go to APKMirror site and sideload the version you want (not the latest of course). Don't forget to enable "Unknown sources" option in Settings -> Security.

No I didn't mean like that. Simply let's say you need to roll back Facebook app to its previous version. You need to uninstall Facebook from your mobile and download the APK on your phone (or on your PC then transfer it to phone). It doesn't matter where to place it, just navigate to it with file commander and tap on the downloaded APK to install it, just like you double click on EXE files on PC to start installation. No root needed here.

@Quester

I think I missunderstood, I thought he was asking to replace the preloaded apps with different versions

Uliwooly, you didnt misunderstood, i was asking to replace a app downloaded from Google play to a older version, however i downloaded the older version from the Internet without replacing any files just automatically updating it from the "Downloads" app. If possible please remove this thread.
