Depending on how deep it is.

get some canned air.
heat the spot with a hair dryer, but not enough to ruin the paint.
turn the canned air upside down and spray the liquid aerosol on the spot to rapidly cool and contract the dent out, clean off the area, then touch up the paint damage.

well... they dont use this method in egypt :D can you please show me a video or somethin?

^^ there are lots of videos on youtube. I really don't think its gonna work on that. If you can't pop it out from the other side, the canned air trick won't work.

It looks like the rocker area.
No that wont come out with compound or air, or dry ice or anything. Its a good whack to the side of the car(rocker area) Best bet to hid it?
Get some sideskirts.
