You can use a program called Ch2r. You'll need to open your map, in this case I think it's "shared.map", then find and extract the bitmap you want to edit. You should find it at "objects\vehicles\ghost\bitmaps\ghost_standard.bitmp".

Open it in Photoshop or GIMP and edit how you want, then convert to the proper format. Now go back into Ch2r and inject the bitmap inplace of the original.

Sign your map, and FTP it back to your XBOX.

also, to make the ghost look like active camo, open the map in Dot Halo, go into the [mode] tag and look for the ghost model, then swap the [shad] tags in the dependency swapper to that of the active camo or whatever else you want.
