How can I in my custom controller get an instance of ApplicationUserManager so that I can find a user by its id and then be able to update the user?

Simply call:

var userManager = HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>();

inside any action you want to access the user manager. you also need to add following namespace also:

using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin;
