Do lots of seated calve raises...
just like pectoralis minor and brachialis the soleus is one of those deeper lying muscles, that when fully developed will push the muscles on top (in this case the gastro) of that more to the surface and further appart , hence more seperation/definition.....
Also the seated calve raise call upon the tibialis anterior for stabillisation and this will give you wide sweepy calves viewed from the front....
Dropping BF is also a way , best to take both ways...
Funny thing is that you see sometimes fat people with big hard veiny calves , guess the distribution of fatcells is in many times uneven throughout the body, genetically determined....

In addition to the Seated raises, steal one of those Step class platforms and set it down by a wall. Or a couple of 2x4 stacked
Now go get a nice Big DB (the heaviest you can hold in one hand for a Min or so).
Stand on one leg on the platform or block with only the Ball of your foot on the step and the DB in the same hand on that side, Facing the wall
Use your other hand on the wall to help balance yourself..
Now lower your foot as low as it will go so your heel almost touches the floor and then raise it as high as you can for one rep.
Do this 15 times and then switch to the other foot and move the DB to the same hand on that side as well..
4 sets and you will be in ecstasy
