Some of your examples do indeed have the color removed from portions of the photo. Others appear to have areas colorized.

An easy way to remove color is to add an Adjustment Layer (black and white circle at the bottom of the Layers panel) for Hue/Saturation and then reduce the Saturation slider to -100.

To get color back in certain areas, use the Brush Tool (type B) to brush over those areas.

To colorize (that is, add a fake color), add another Adjustment Layer on top of the previous one that removed all the original color. click the colorize check box on the lower right of the Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer, adjust the Hue slider and Saturation sliders as necessary, and click OK. Use the Brush Tool to remove the fake color from wherever you don't want it.
