Lots of ways... 0 Ctrl-V jjjjj selects the first column of the block you want to comment, then I% <ESC> for example adds % on the start of every line. Alternatively there are solutions like, :.,.+5s/^/%/ To add a % at the start of every line between the current one and the one in 5 lines time. Similarly, 0 Ctrl-V jjjjjx gets rid of them (assuming you're on the top row), as does :.,.+5s/^%// There are other ways, but those are the ones I use most often.
