Our seatback is far from optimal profile and I am thinking of adding a bit of firmer padding. How to remove the seatback cover (skin)?
This is the type of the seat that we have

Thank you in advance!
 
Given the age of the material I don’t think it will survive being stripped. Likely best to check out a qualified upholsterer.
 
It is risky to do this as the material may not hold up. If you do attempt this it is held in place by hog rings which can be pried open and taken off. To reinstall you will need a good set of hog ring pliers and new hog rings.
 
Chinook Upholstery or Degreeve Upholstery in Calgary would be my suggestion. @Tobias74 has an oldtimer who does his work but he only does small jobs.
