See this and more on my LEGO site's new page for simple minifig head
customizations.  Nothing to fancy here, just stuff anyone can pull off with
some simple X-acto knife scraping and a Sharpie, with the aim being to make
specialized heads more usable in any theme.
These are pretty clever and quite simple too.  If I had the heart to take an
exacto to my Lego, I'd seriously consider some of these (especially scraping
those darn microphones off all the minifig heads!)

Be warned: It is highly addictive.

I've committed myself to keeping one unmodified head of each sort, but have
spent a lot of time subtly (and not so subtly) modifying faces. Some more
useful ones (no pics yet):

Barron von Barron (trim the facial hair, remove the monocle, remove the scar)
Dr Cyber (correct the crossed eyes)
Shogun (colour in the moustache & side burns)
Rudy Vilano (replace the grumpy with a smiley, remove the scar)
Timmy (remove the nose - this makes for a MUCH better face, remove the
freckles, add a 5 O'clock shadow)
Batlord (remove the hair and moustache to make a plain 'grumpy' face).

Cheers
