It would help if you mentioned that in your initial post.

You can use visual-block mode and then use I (capital-eye) to
insert a single space:

control+V
(select the beginnings of the lines you want)
I
<space>
<esc>

To dedent instead of indent, you can use visual-block mode to
select the first column of the rows you want to dedent, and then
just hit "x" or "d" to delete the space character.

Note that if you source the oft-(well-)maligned mswin.vim, you'll
use control+Q instead of control+V for visual-block mode.
