You can clean out carbon from an engine using water or using a special detergent running through a vaccuum line on the intake manifold. If you're iffy about doing any of this on your own, take it to a shop that will do it for you.
"White" smoke can be oil or coolant, depends on the smell and how heavy it is as to how well you can identify it.

Honda sells some stuff called "Top End Cleaner" that basically gets sucked thru a vac line like 1stGen said. It comes in a can and is like $4 per can. The cans are kinda funky, so you need an iduction tool that's like $30 to use em. The part numbers for the cleaner and tool are 08732-9008 and 08732-9010 respectively, but I would just use some water or ATF. The key is small amounts at a time sucked thru one of the vac lines on the intake manifold.

Oil burning is a whitish/bluish smoke.
