Here you have some code that does that. You would need to change font-lock-doc-string-face to the face you want to use (or make a new one and configure it) if you don't like the one I used.

(defadvice calendar-generate-month
  (after highlight-weekend-days (month year indent) activate)
  "Highlight weekend days"
  (dotimes (i 31)
    (let ((date (list month (1+ i) year)))
      (if (or (= (calendar-day-of-week date) 0)
              (= (calendar-day-of-week date) 6))
          (calendar-mark-visible-date date 'font-lock-doc-string-face)))))
