They do not turn it into freshwater, they just have the ability to exude or process excess salt within their bodies. Sometimes if you see sea birds, they appear to have a crusty film around their nasal openings on their beaks. This is excess salt

Since penguins cannot drink the salt water where they live, they obtain most of their water needs from the fish they eat.
