Hi Shalabh,

It should be fairly easy to do. Select the way that you want to edit, 
insert nodes where you want to start and stop, and split the way at each 
node. That will leave you with the way between your two nodes. You can 
then edit that way as you see suitable.

In Potlatch shift-click to insert a new point, and press 'x' to split.
In JOSM, if memory serves, click the way and then click to insert a 
point. Hit Escape to end the new way that you've started, which will 
just leave the node. Do the same at the other end, select the node and 
way to split, and hit 'p'

Hope this helps!
