There isn't a good program available preinstalled, but you could download and install Paintbrush which would probably do what you want.

ok, is there even a programme pre installed that does anything of the sort? i find it a bit strange if theres nothing at all. My friend has gimp on his p.c. would you recommend this or should i avoid it. thanks for your quick response!!

GIMP will be too complex for you if you aren't good with computers.

Some apps to look at,
Paintbrush
