One of them currently isn't doing anything but sitting there; it's unlikely that it will start working again, since it already exceeded its original planned mission time by a factor of twenty or so. If it does ever respond again, it will probably do so within the month, since it's Martian summer where it's located, meaning it's getting as much sunlight for power as it ever will (the actual solar maximum is supposed to occur in mid-March 2011).

The other one is still conducting experiments. If you want to know details, you could visit NASA's web site; I'll put a link in the related links section for you to the part about the rovers. You can check the archives to see all the things they've done, but basically it amounts to driving around, looking at rocks, testing them in various ways, etc.
