Try something like this:

\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
$\mu$

\mathversion{bold}
$\mu$

\mathversion{normal}
$\mu$

\end{document}

And check out the FAQ, specifically:

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=boldgreek

And other beginner LaTeX texts, esp. Herbert Voss Math guide:
