I don't think the X220 has/had a secure boot option, so no possibility or need to disable it. Even if it was on, many Linux distros - Fedora and Ubuntu for instance - will boot with secure boot on.
Are you having problems booting/installing a particular distro? It's not likely a secure boot problem.
