Although it's not necessarially being developed (or even supported) 
anymore, MySQL Control Center has always been a good data manipulation 
tool. It may be a little confusing for the general user, though.

Otherwise, if your clients have MS Access installed, you can install the 
  MySQL ODBC connector on Windows. In Access, you can link tables up to 
the MySQL db and let them edit data there.

Both of these pieces of software are available of MySQL's Developer 
site. http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/

*shutters* I just promoted an MS product for getting things done...
