If you want to delete songs directly from the iPod, it needs to be set to Manually manage music on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  If you are using automatic syncing, you cannot delete songs directly from the iPod; instead, you update (remove songs from) the playlist(s) being synced to the iPod.
If the iTunes sidebar (left side of iTunes window) is visible, select the iPod under the heading DEVICES.  If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down the iPod's content list, indented under the iPod.  Click on Music there.  Over to the right, you see the list of songs currently on the iPod.  If the iPod is set to Manually manage music, you should be able to delete songs from that list.  Select the song (or set of songs) you want to delete, and press Delete on the keyboard.
