If you select your polygon and choose the reshape polygon tool, you can 
move various points around with the mouse. Option-dragging from a point 
gives a new point and command-clicking on a point deletes it. (These 
modifier keys are what works on a Mac - other system users will just 
have to see what works for them.)

Alternatively, open the Properties palette for the graphic and under the 
Graphic tab, you will find a list of the points specified as a pair of 
coordinates per line. These can be edited, deleted, duplicated etc 
either in the palette or by a script.

Cheers,
