Do you mean zooming or cropping?
Cropping: With Vegas, you look at your timeline/storyboard and you click on the square thing on the right hand side of the clip and then a screen pops up. Just drag the box to whatever you want it to crop into. If you want wide screen, near the top it should say present. Change it from default to 16:9.
Zooming: Done on the same screen of vegas. Below the picture, you'll see a timeline. Merely set your screensize at the beginning of when you want to zoom and set the size of the endresult zooming and it'll zoom naturally.
As others have said, Vegas/Adobe > WMM by A LOT. Yes they cost money but there are... alternative ways of getting them >_> Im pretty sure Sony Vegas has a free 1 month trial
Other tips for higher quality: Film in extremely high quality (60-80 FPS). That way, when the quality dies on you, it'll still look decent as you filmed it in "higher quality" (higher quality goes to high quality, high quality goes to medium quality, etc). Quality isnt really an issue in terms of videos if you're using WMM though: Everything is just small on the screen that its hard to see, no matter how high of quality you film in.
