Changing a color range in Photoshop CS3

Right now I have an image in which I have selected all the black. I've got the marching ants selecting all and only the black. I would like to change the black to brown (HEX#B16A23, R 177 G106 B35). How do I do that? I thought it would be as simple as clicking  on the foreground color box, but of course that didn't work.

So what do I do next?

Ultimately I would like to replace the black with a vertical gradient of 2 browns. So if it's possible, how would I do that? But first of course, the change to a solid color.

Thanks!

John

also you can use a color modifier tool like Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation>Colorize. Since it is black , you need to put some light to turn it to gray, then change saturation and hue
