As Jamie said, the way to make bicubic patches inside Moray is to click in
the bicubic patch button and then click in the "edit" tab in the top right
of the screen to modify it.
Anyway, I've never managed myself to work with that Moray's feature.
Instead of that, I first used sPatch and later Hamapatch to make bicubic
patches (Hamapatch is much more complete and under current development, I
can't live without it ;-).
Both are freeware and both export the models to Moray thru' a plugin, so you
get a .mdl file that you can open in Moray (when you open it in Moray, the
object appear as a bicubic patch).
Those are the better options to me.
If you are interested on Hamapatch, the links are:
The program, help file and a link to the author's guaranteed current version
(last is 2.4):

Tutorials, models, plugins and utilities:

Hope this helps.
