    iCloud is a storage facility for backups that you create from your devices. You cannot pick and choose what is on iCloud at the iCloud level. You can remove music and photos from your phone or device if you do not want them on you next backup to iCloud for that device, but that is all you can do.

     

    Upload your photos from your Camera Roll on your device to a PC, Mac, or external archival cloud service like DropBox, and then delete the photos from your device. You can delete music directly from your device, or you can sync your device to iTunes on your PC or Mac, and reduce the number of songs that you sync back to the device.

     

    Both of those actions will reduce the number of photos and songs that are being stored in iCloud as a part of your device backup.
