Record Voice to a CD

Can I use Movie Maker to edit a recorded voice and burn it to a CD? Or is
there a better product I should use with my Windows 7?

I want to record a lesson I need to memorize burn it to a CD and listen
while driving.

You can do that with moviemaker, sure - though it only has very basic
audio editing capabilities, it does at least create a file which is
easily burned to CD in one step.

A much better audio editor is Audacity :
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

There is extensive online Help and FAQ for Audacity at
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Category:Tutorial and
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq and a printable manual at
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/onlinehelp-1.2/reference.html

The output of editing using Audacity would be a WAV or (optionally)
MP3 file once you've completed the editing. To burn that to CD, you
can add the resulting file to media player's library, then use the CD
Burn feature in media player to copy it to an Audio CD.
