Org mode knows nothing about math mode (a TeX concept only).  You can
turn off the subscript interpretation of underscores globally in the
file by using

#+OPTIONS: ^:nil

See section 12.2, "Export options", of the Org manual.

AFAIK, there is no way to make underscores be underscores in some cases
and trigger subscripts in other cases, in the same file.
