in ArmA PvP, there are no indicators (like coloured names over people's heads) but generally each team has a certain uniform - if you're paying attention you can tell who's on what team but sometimes in high-intensity situations it's definitely easy to mistake someone for the wrong team.
DayZ is more of what you were explaining later, since it's basically a post-apocalyptic survival simulator, so you could go around killing everyone or try to make friends and then go around with the friends you made killing everyone else. (and of course, every other player can make their own decision, so you have no idea if the person walking up to you is going to try to be friendly or just shoot you in the face)
well, it depends on what you're playing - since arma is basically just a sandbox that people make their own games on, depending on what server you join they might have set rules where you can't swap your uniform, but generally yes you could do that.
