You are going to want to take advantage of the StandardController to make this functionality work. Create your VF page and make sure it is using Object B as the standardcontroller. When you create a custom button on that object you will see your VF page as an option. See image below.

You will want to create an extension class as well so that you can add your own logic to the page. See the link below for more details on how to create an extension. 

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_controller_extension.htm

In the extension you will need logic that will query the Children Objects (Object A) that you want to update. You will include properties in your extension to collect the information from the person filling out the form that is going to be put on the Object A. Once the user is done you can provide them a save button that when pushed will update any Object A records with the details that the user just filled out and then do an update on the Object A records and include some javascript to close the window. 

This is the direction that I would go with your project. Let me know if you need further help or questions.

As i clicked on SAVE() button it should save the record and the window to be closed.
