Kittens bite not to hurt but to play. Your kitten will likely grow out of this. Adult cats will also bite. Cats usually bite when they're playing, trying to get your attention or warning you not to do something. For example if you scratch or rub your cats lower back he/she might bite you to tell you he/she doesn't like you doing that or just isn't in the mood for it.
The best things to do is to learn your kitten's behaviour, especially how she acts when she's about to bite. Refrain from playing with her with your hands and use toys instead.
When your kitten bites, you can either try and distract her attention with a toy, or make your hand or arm completely limp. A kitten will quickly grow bored of unmoving "prey" and will let go. Ignoring the kitten for a few minutes afterwards will also help. Kittens love attention, so a kitten will quickly learn that biting, scratching and other behaviours will get it ignored - so will stop such behaviour.
NEVER hit your cat; this will just make it fearful of you. Cats respond poorly to negative reinforcement.

Like in cleaning itself? My cats do that, they find a part of their fur that is "unclean" and they bite at it, then lick it clean.
