Make a new layer, fill with desired colour, set blending mode to overlay. Twiddle with opacity. (Twiddle with other modes too)

or

Add a Hue & Saturation Adjustment layer. Tick the Colorize button. Adjust Hue slider.

That help you get started sooty?

There are others but these are the basics.

Hi,Mr. Duer

Did you look at your palettes located on the right side of Photoshop?

Click on the arrow and fly menu will appear, choose the Replace action and new window will become visible and list of all action, click the one you want and play.
Hope this screenshot will help:
