    You can always back up your device to your computer instead of to iCloud by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up.  If you want to automatically back up to your computer instead of to iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn iCloud Backup off.  After that, your device will back up to your computer every time you sync it with iTunes.

     

    If you want to keep backing it up to iCloud, this article provides some suggestions for reducing your existing storage and reducing the size of your backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.
