Where to get a Save Editor?
https :// www . nexus mods. com/masseffect legendary edition/mods/20

(Remove the spaces,and yes,it works both on vanilla and remastered version of the Trilogy)
When to edit the save file
You may want to edit your save file as soon as your Shepard wakes up in the Cerberus base but hold up,you don't want to do that yet ,why? Cause the game bugs out as you need that random Wilson dude for the first mission and for Freedom`s Progress you will need both Miranda and Jacob,so wait till you are on the Normandy,only then you might use the save editor.
Adding Legion
Open the save editor and select the "Open" option to edit your save file.

By default your Mass Effect 2 savefiles will be stored at:
This PC>Documents>BioWare>Mass Effect 2>Save


Choose PLOT>CREW>LEGION and check Legion is selectable.
Removing Legion
When removing Legion from the game,you have to uncheck both Legion in Party and Legion is selectable.
To be safe to not bug your savefile
Do not talk to Legion on the Normandy neither complete his loyalty mission and obviously do not take him to the Reaper IFF mission,it might break the game,if you tested this tho,let me know how did it go.
Known Bugs
1.If you take Legion with you on Horizon,he will not have any dialogue,so it feels like you are only with one companion and not two.

2: After removing Legion and completing the Reaper IFF mission,the introductory conversation where he wakes up will loop when you want to talk to him after. To fix this rather infamous bug,visit another Deck then return to Deck 3 where he is and the dialogue should return to normal and not loop,so you can trigger his loyalty mission and progress as normally. If you did this and still doesn't work,let me know in the comments.
Conclusion
I hope this guide helped you enjoy your time with Legion in the game,feedback is welcome.

Here are some screenshots with Legion in missions:
