If you're rendering with OpenGL this is simply a matter of changing the 
color you're drawing your textures with.  Without OpenGL you'll have to 
modify the pixel colors directly which is pretty slow, or use surfarrays 
which are faster, especially via pixels_alpha():

You might be able to do some tricks with color indexing too, but it 
depends what exactly you're trying to do.
