Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to a DNA molecule. Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + DNA cytosine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + DNA N4-methylcytosine. Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to an acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to a substrate.
