I don't have my heli with me to look at them, but if they're decals, you should be able to gently scrape them off with an exacto knife by drawing it backwards. (the blade pointing one way, but scraping the other with the edge) This WILL scrape paint off too, though. Best bet, and the safe bet, is to mask off the window/whatever you want saved, and repaint it whatever color you want it to be.

Most lettering is either rubber stamping, heat stamping, painted on, or digitally screen printed. (or at least as far as I know)

I'm guessing they're rubber stamping on these, then the silver and some of the larger black's probably painted on with a template/painting mold. It makes for much higher quality.

Personally, I'd get a couple of the cheapest canopies that are on amazon, and paint them, so it's not one-and-done and you could swap back and forth between yellow, red, blue, black, OD, purple, ogre green, whatever you can think of. (esp if you make the tail fin all black, silver or something like that where it goes with anything)

That's what I was thinking. Another forum said Elmer's goo remover, and I got the impression someone had done it. The finish is consistent across the 'decals' so if they are decals there would have to be a top coat finish and I can't see that being done on these little things. I prefer a plain and simple look and think the decals look cheesy.
