Is it possible? Yes.

How? Depends.

Usually the easiest way is to use the selection tools (magic wand) to select each footprint then, preferably on a separate layer, paint inside the selection.

Another method you could use is create a new layer and just paint on it over the footprints. Then use the eraser tool to form the paint around the footprints from there.

You can also use the Color Replacer brush to change them. By changing the background color on your materials palette to black and your foreground color to the color you want it to be you can just brush over the black footprints and it will do its best to replace it with the solid color of your choice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9DqLjA57_o

And there are many other options, which one works best is usually dependent on the image you're using.
