The books that do not allow changing of the justification are just epubs.
For being able to change the justification on plain epubs you'll need to roll up your sleeves and dig into the book's css. In the css find and delete all lines that say
Code:
text-align: left;
or
Code:
text-align: justify;
If they say center or right, leave those alone. The text-align:justify is the more likely one. Find all occurances and delete them.

With the kobo, if there is neither a text-align:justify nor a text-align:left then you can change how it displays with the ereader's setting. Otherwise, either one forces it.

At worst there might even be
Code:
style="text-align: justify;"
in the html on the p tags; delete those as well.

Another avenue to try, and perhaps the easiest one, is to use the Kobo extended driver plugin for Calibre. It changes an epub to a Kobo epub (called kepub on these forums) on the fly when it sends the ebook to your ereader. See its page in the Calibre plugins section here.
