Two ways.

1. Enable 'Extended View' (not sure about the label...) checkbox in the 
List module, and click the 'hide' icon (this isn't a way to do multiple 
pages at once, but it's an easy way...)

2. Several steps:

a. Go to list module and click on the parent page of the branch whose 
pages you want to modify

b. Click the little "+" beside the name of the table (should be "Pages" 
in this case)

c. Choose the field(s) you want to modify from the list and click the 
"Set fields" button

d. Open one of the clipboards at the bottom of the frame

e. There should be a bunch of checkboxes in the column under the 
relevant field in the table listing. Check those corresponding to the 
pages you want to edit and edit them.

For more details, there is a video showing this process on typo3.org in 
the videos section.
