If you mean editing out individual faces (like covering a face with a black
dot or burring it but leaving the rest of the faces in the same view normal)
you can't do it in Movie Maker. If the face is onscreen for a little bit and
you don't mind blurring or pixelating everything in the same view, you could
use an effect that changes the whole video clip. You could split the clip so
it is as short as the duration the face is onscreen.

I don't know what pointer Graham had in mind... I agree with what
print_maker said... with a few comments.

- If you want a bold stamping out, you can do it with a Picture-in-Picture
effect... I'd use Rehan's example of a logo type special text effect. I
refer to my newsletter #52 on my Editing > Text > Intro page, which is an
intro to using such a custom title, but the newsletter isn't online yet.. so
going to Rehan's site and looking at his XML code example at the bottom of
his page (there's a link on my same page to Rehan's page).

- You can do use Rehan's same title effect to overlay a checkerboard where
you see through every other square... less bold of an approach

- Then there's the delogo filter that you can use with VirtualDub... you
define an area and the filter smudges it... the link to Virtual Dub is on my
Setup > Other Software page, and the link to the delogo filter is:
http://neuron2.net/delogo132/delogo.html

How practical any of these methods would be depends on how many faces you
need to edit out, how much they move in the scenes, and how much effort you
can apply. Because such a feature isn't part of Movie Maker, you might need
to do too much work to pull it off.

The easiest way, which I guess isn't an option for you, is to edit the video
so the people or their faces aren't in it. Delete the frames that they are
in, or crop the scenes they appear in so their faces don't show (I'm think
of VirtualDubs cropping feature and resizing filter).

It was the picture in picture piece I had in mind.
