The cables feeding your house are owned by the power company.

They own everything from the power pole to the main breaker, which includes the meter.

So they will need to be the ones to do the work you describe.

Before attempting anything like this you should call them and ask what the procedure is for a temporary disconnect.

If you report to them that there is degradation of the cables and exposed wiring, it wouldn't be surprising if they were out there the same day (or night) to have a look.

They might actually do the work at the pole instead of at the house. But let them decide, since it belongs to them.

If you were to attempts it yourself and do it wrong you could end up blowing pole-mounted breakers and blacking out an entire neighborhood.

If you were to attempt it yourself and had any sort of accident the only protection for their system would be pole-mounted breakers. A direct short could cause instantaneous unintended disassembly of a transformer or blow the pole-mounted breakers which would most likely cause a neighborhood-wide blackout.

It is unlikely that your insurance would cover a willful act on your part which could cause ramifications to grandma who lives up the street surviving on life-saving medical devices.
