    You might be able to delete them directly on it by swiping across their names in the Music app on the songs selection screen, either from right-to-left or left-to-right depending upon the iOS version on it.

     

    Or conenct the iPod to your computer and on the left-hand sidebar select Music under the device's name (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)

    And then use the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and delete the tracks that you no longer want on it.

     

    If they are iTunes purchases which you bought directly on your iPod then you may first want to copy them over to computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, music can't be redownloaded in all countries (and there is no guarantee that it will remain in a country's store for future redownloading).

    If you have less than iOS 5 you have to connect to computer to unsync them to delete songs from the iPod.
