I know how to change the color, position and sync etc. !!!

VobSub is not a text based format, so to do what you want you need to use OCR and convert to another format (e.g. SubRip's format, srt). It's a real pain in the backside.

Ok, and when I just wanna remove parts from the subtitles ???

maybe you can try playing with idx file
# VobSub index file, v7 (do not modify this line!)
#
# To repair desyncronization, you can insert gaps this way:
# (it usually happens after vob id changes)
#
# delay: [sign]hh:mm:ss:ms
#
# Where:
# [sign]: +, - (optional)
# hh: hours (0 <= hh)
# mm/ss: minutes/seconds (0 <= mm/ss <= 59)
# ms: milliseconds (0 <= ms <= 999)
#
# Note: You can't position a sub before the previous with a negative value.
#
# You can also modify timestamps or delete a few subs you don't like.
# Just make sure they stay in increasing order.

further in idx file you can find something like this...
timestamp: 00:01:50:200, filepos: 000012000
