First you have to add an alpha channel (RMB --> Layers --> Transparency --> Add Alpha
Channel). Then you can select the white background with either "Select by color"
(Shift+O) or with the "magic wand" (is this the right word in english...? in german it
is "Zauberstab") (Z). Then you just need to cut out the selection an it will be
transparent. Save it as xcf, png, tga, gif or any other file that can handle
transparency.

The easiest way is to change the "Hue" of the red part of the image. Do this by
selecting RMB --> Layer --> Colors --> Hue and Saturation.
Hope, this helps...
