I'll refer you to the two quickmask tutorials I posted earlier but add this:

Using Quickmask
More Quickmasks

When you've used the lasso tool and pressed quick mask, you'll automatically enter quick mask mode (see pic 1) and the colours will automatically convert to black foreground colour and white background colour (see pic 2).

Pic 1:

Notice that the left square is the active one. This is the quick mask.

Pic 2:

The black colour will remove visible pixels and white will reveal pixels from the mask.
