Don't squeeze them or try to pry them out with your nails, that will just result in a proper spot forming.
If its really bad, you can do a steam bath - I think it's called that. You boil up some water and put it in a bowl, put your head over it with a towel over you so the steam stays inside the towel and therefore in yo face. Obviously don't go so close to the water that the steam burns. You want the steam to open your pores, not burn you. Stay under there for 5-10 minutes. Then get a blackhead removal tool (looks like http://www.4everyouthful.net/shop/images/twzmn_blackhead_remover.gif that) and gentle scrape over the blackheads. You probably won't get all the gunk, but you should get a bit. You can then use a face wash if you want. Then splash cold water repeatedly onto your face. It has to be cold, to close up the pores because otherwise dirt is going to get right back in them straight away. Do this once or twice a week. Also, if you really want to fag it up, look into buying a "toner" face product, its stuff that women use to shrink their pores (although their pores are naturally smaller already). Alongside this use a daily face scrub, like clean&clear, clearasil etc. Also, just stuff like trying to avoid touching your nose will help keep grease off it.
