How can I increase or decrease the Power / Toughness of multiple creatures at once?

Very explicit... Here's something I took out from an article about MWSPlay:

Setting/Adjusting Power and Toughness: When a spell or effect causes a permanent increase (or decrease) in the power and/or toughness of a creature, this change can easily be reflected on the card.

While holding Ctrl, press + or – to raise or lower the power of a creature respectively (this should work whether you use the + and – keys on the keyboard or the numberpad). To change toughness, hold Alt instead of Ctrl. You can change both power and toughness at the same time by holding Ctrl and Alt while pressing + or –.

This technique also works as a multiple-card effect. You can drag-select or Shift-select several creatures and mass adjust their power/toughness at once (very useful for Glorious Anthem or Relentless Rats).

For man-lands like Blinkmoth Nexus or Stalking Stones, sleeper enchantments like Opal Titan, morph creatures played face-down, or any other non-creature card that can become a creature, you must first give the creature a power and toughness display. To do so, hold Ctrl+Alt and hit +. This will make the card a 0/0 which you may then adjust as above.
Alternatively, you may set a card’s power and toughness to a chosen value by right-clicking the card in play and choosing “Set Creature’s P/T” or selecting the card and hitting Ctrl+P. The Set P/T window allows you to enter in a chosen power and toughness separated by a backslash. This is very useful for creatures that come into play with a variable power and toughness (such as Kodama of the Center Tree). If you leave the field blank and press OK, it will remove the power and toughness numbers from the card icon (you can bring them back by any of the above methods).

For temporary effects such as Giant Growth, it is usually unnecessary to actually adjust the power and toughness of the creature. However, in complex blocking and damage situations, it can be helpful to do so for the benefit of your opponent.

There you go Cool
