For a linewise selection:
:'<,'>y c
(the '<,'> is automagically inserted when you hit : in Visual mode).
See
:help :yank
For a blockwise selection, I think there is a plugin on Dr.Chip's site
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim but I don't know the details.
For a characterwise selection, maybe gv as Ben said.
Best regards,
