Scale or move faces and edges

Hello,

I'm using the trial version at the moment and have scoured the help guide for this information, but to no avail, so:

Can faces or edges be scaled or moved on an object??? i.e: on a cube, scale the top face to 'taper' the cube into a pyramid shape?

Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question!!!

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Paul
