From what I read here: http://www.chessbase.com/download/cblight/index.asp I think it cannot do that.
Don't think so, but you can do in within Fritz.

It should be possible with the premium version, and also in Fritz as Graham already mentioned, in two steps.

1. delete the games of player X from database A (*)
2. open database B and append the remaining A to B

(A itself will remain as it was after step 1)

*) in Fritz, this would be done by

1a. search for all the games of that player
1b. mark the complete search result
1c. delete
(and eventually, choose "Tools/Database/Remove deleted games" if you want to remove them physically. Otherwise they would remain and just be marked as deleted.)
