Skip steps from remote azure pipeline template repo

I want to use a remote repo template in my azure pipeline. But I want to skip some of the steps included. Note: I dont have access to configure the repote pipeline steps.

The remote yml looks like this build.yml

steps:
- download: none
- checkout: ${{ parameters.checkoutRepo }}

- task: Cache@2
  displayName: Cache Maven local repo

- task: Maven@3
  displayName: 'Maven: validate'

- task: SonarQubePrepare@4
  displayName: 'Prepare analysis on SonarQube'

My yml my-build.yml

resources:
  repositories:
    - repository: my-remote-repo-above
      type: git
      name: my-remote-repo-above
    .
    .
    .
    stages:
  - template: build-stage.yml
    parameters:

So my question is, can I somehow specify steps from remote to skip OR there is a way to pick the ones I want to execute only?

Basically, we can define a parameter to your template, and use it in a task condition so that we can skip the specific steps based on the condition.

For example, in build-stage.yml

parameters:
  enableSonarCloud: false

steps:
- download: none
- checkout: ${{ parameters.checkoutRepo }}

- task: Cache@2
  displayName: Cache Maven local repo

- task: Maven@3
  displayName: 'Maven: validate'

- task: SonarQubePrepare@4
  condition: and(succeeded(), ${{ parameters.enableSonarCloud }} )
  displayName: 'Prepare analysis on SonarQube'

And your build.yml

resources:
  repositories:
    - repository: my-remote-repo-above
      type: git
      name: my-remote-repo-above
    .
    .
    .
    stages:
  - template: build-stage.yml
    parameters:
      enableSonarCloud: true

But in your scenario, you don't have access to configure the remote template steps. In this case, I don't think you can achieve that if the parameter and task condition is not defined in the template.
