The only way you get a few color changing options is if you embed the image first, this will then give you limited recolor options.

Thank, this is what I was looking for. It wasn't embedded.

The edit colors will work on vector artwork and not pixel based artwork, if you want to recolor a photo i would suggest using Photoshop for that and then import into Illustrator.
