Does anything really have color or is the color you see on things merely a reflection of light hitting the objects?

Color is a perception created by our eyes and brain in response to how light interacts with objects. When light hits an object, certain wavelengths are absorbed and others are reflected, which our eyes interpret as color. So, color itself is not inherent in objects but is a product of how our visual system processes light.

How do colored filters change the color of an object?

They prevent certain wavelengths (i.e. colours) from passing through. This means that you only see the colours that do pass through. If the object itself is coloured this may result in it becoming invisible if the filter is one that stops the object's colour from passing through it.
