You have to insert this code in a hook_install() or hook_update() :

$role = \Drupal\user\Entity\Role::load('anonymous');
$role->revokePermission('your_permission');
$role->save();

Did you uninstall/reinstall your module ? Your hook_install is in .install file ?

Actually the machine readable name for "View published content" is "access content" I have changed my code now it works like a charm ... Thanks a lot. $role->revokePermission('access content');
