Hi Arjit,
Use transaction code SM37 for your requirements.
To delete a background job.
Complete Jobs will have a status has Released
1) Goto SM37 and Give your Job name and Click on execute
2) Check the Job and Click on Delete( Shift+F2)
This will delete the Job
To Stop a background active Job
1) Goto SM37 and Give your Job name and Click on execute
2) Click on the check box against job
3) Goto Job Menu and select Cancel active Job ( Ctrl+F1 )
Thanks,
Vinay

The statuses of a background job are:
scheduled
released
active
finished
cancelled, and so on. If you go to sm36 and schedule a job without giving time-constraints, it would go into a scheduled-status. Then, if you go to SM37 and provide the runtime details (immediate, periodic, start-at-time, and so on), the job goes into a released-status. At this point, if you change your mind and need to cancel, go to JOB-> "released->scheduled", and this will do the job.
Once the resources are available and time-constraints met, the job goes from released to ACTIVE, which is when the job is actually running. At this time, you'll see the STOP button in SM37 to stop the job, and it will then be in a status CANCELLED.
If you're unable to cancel using SM37, you could then go to SM50 or SM66, and very carefully identify the thread which is executing your job. BE VERY CAREFUL TO IDENTIFY THE CORRECT THREAD! then, there are options in the menu to kill the job manually - my recommendation, be sure of what you're doing on these transactions, they're quite powerful and so are also quite risky to use!
Not sure what "with core" and "without core" mean - any clues?
