Simply select the features on the map and use copy-paste (Ctrl-c - Ctrl-v) to copy the data into a text editor or Excel.

Or: After you highlighted them->right click on the Layer->Save Selction as->In the Drop-down menue you can choose csv(comma seperated value/ excel) format there. Done

Another easy solution might be the use of the "mmqgis" plugin. You can find it directly via the plugin downloader.

After loading you will find in the menu Plugins->mmqgis->Transfer a clickable dialog to export shape attribute tables to csv data. You can even export whole geometries.
