There are many different ways, if you have Photoshop of something you could select the blue using magic wand and use the sponge too (set on de-saturate) to remove the colour. this will turn grey if it is too light just select the burn too to make darker.
Or you could just paint it out but remember to add some catch lights using a small brush.

Take the photo again, this time with some decent lighting and no flash. Problem with that pic isn't just the eyes, it's the overexposure on the fur and the tongue.
But if you're really interested in sorting out the eyes, pic up a copy of Photoshop Elements, or download a copy of GIMP if you're into freeware. There will be plenty of tutorials online on how to fix eye colour, and that shouldn't be hard to do.
Good luck

For a first picture, thats not a bad attempt at all!
As breaker said, take the flash off, and just light the room well.
The flash has reflected off the pupils and has reflected off the fur and tongue, meaning they're overexposed.
You have got the focus spot on though, which is somewhat of a feat considering you're very new to photography.
Keep up the work
Its a very addictive (and expensive ) hobby, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it

Welcome to the forum winty .. 
It would help a little if you told us what software you are using.
The shot looks like it could benefit from a little sharpening .. It is a little soft. Using a faster shutter speed would have helped.
You can increase the colour in most software programs by increasing the saturation.

Hi
Hope you don't mind but I did a quick edit (10 Seconds), your photo was underexposed (CTRL + L) in Photoshop to bring up levels and you will notice there is no information on the right hand side of the chart. Simply move the right slider to meet the start of the graph.
Were you using flash because I noticed catch lights in max eyes, this might have caused the camera to underexpose due to the max synch of your flash, not sure what it is on canon as I use Nikon.
