If the person is in your Google Contacts, you can edit or remove the person's birthday from the People or Contacts app on your phone, or from google.com/contacts.

If the person is in your Google+ circles, the birthday is controlled by the other person in Google+. If you need to, you can hide all birthdays from Google+ (see section above). Then, you can add specific people's birthdays to your Google Contacts to see them in Calendar.
