Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group to a DNA molecule. Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + DNA containing cytosine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + DNA containing 5-methylcytosine. Catalysis of the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to a substrate. Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + DNA containing CpG = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + DNA containing 5-MeCpG.
