When the heads are ripe: cut and tie them together and dry in the sun for a week or so. Then you can remove the seeds by either rubbing them out or by laying them on a sheet on the floor and hitting them with a stick or (clean) broom.
Further drying of the seeds for another week is best. They can than be roasted or prepared for eating or long term storage.
Harvesting the sunflower heads with a clean cut will not kill the plant; only the flower itself. And like any other plant that flowers, it will eventually grow more flower heads.
