Answer 1

Change wheelset, hub, tires, or seat.  Maybe cut the seat post.

Answer 2

The easiest way would be to buy a KHE folding tire.  They have a street and park option:

They are extremely light compared to a regular tire and could save you almost a pound if you just run one in the rear.  They are by far the cheapest and most effective way to drop weight on your bike right now at only $40 a pop.  You could also look into building up a custom rear wheel with a light rim and hub to drop some more weight if you have the money.
