You can make it in an image editing program.

is there a way to do this in vegas movie studio 4???

This falls under the general topic of compositing which is one area that Movie Studio is weak in. (I'm hoping they change this for version 5).

But "weak" does not mean impossible. Put a clip on the video track and another right above it on the overlay track (or text track will work, too). Then put the effect called Cookie Cutter on the upper clip. When the control window shows up, the first thing you usually need to do is reduce the size. Watch the preview window to see what happens. After that you can play around with the other settings.

This is a convenient way for doing quick and simple masks, but it is limited to a small set of basic shapes.

haha cool, but yeh i noe wat ya mean theres not that much to choose from. does vegas 4 or 5 have more though??

The complete Vegas (any version) has much more sophisticated capabilities for compositing, equal to or better than anything else in this price range. And the cookie effect is still there for making quick masks. Vegas 5 introduced a feature for cutting out pieces of video with a mask that changes over time (Bezier masking).

I forgot to mention this other method that works with Vegas Movie Studio. With one clip above another, right-click the top one and select Pan/Crop. Adjust the size of the rectangle with dashed lines, move it around, etc. On the right are two buttons for locking aspect ratio and sizing about the center. Turning these off allows more options for re-sizing that controlling rectangle.

The screen & interface are the same in both except for the features that have been turned off in Movie Studio. Sony put up some screenshots of the Vegas screen here.
