You can turn off restraints on selected atoms with the 
model.restraints.unpick() command (follow it with .condense() to remove 
them entirely). See http://salilab.org/modeller/8v2/manual/node166.html

You can make your own restraints weigh more strongly than 
homology-derived restraints by decreasing their standard deviation.
