Depending on what you want to do, you could just set aside areas using channels or layers. My version of photoshop doesn't a nice channels set up, so I'll explain with layers:

On a new layer, draw over the area you want to mask. using the magic wand tool, select this area. Now go to Select => Inverse. (Or Right Click, then Select Inverse) Hide this layer.

Now go back to the layer with your image on it. You should be able to just manipulate the selected area. When you're done with the selection, Deselect it so that you can work on the whole image again.

Hope that was helpful, if you need more help, feel free to ask. :)
