In short, you need to use the 'visible' flag. You can access this via the children of the current axis object. See the example code below. You can use the final line of code to set the visibility of the red 'X' on and off . . .

close all;

plot ([1 2 3 4], [1 2 1 2])
hold on 
plot(2.5, 1.5, 'xr')

dataH = get(gca, 'Children');
set( dataH(1), 'Linewidth', 10, 'MarkerSize', 30 )

pause
set( dataH(1), 'visible', 'off' )
pause
set( dataH(1), 'visible', 'on' )
pause
set( dataH(1), 'visible', 'off' )
pause
set( dataH(1), 'visible', 'on' )
