Cristian,

mat = Table[Random[Integer, {1, 9}], {i, 3}, {j, 4}]
{{5, 8, 2, 3}, {5, 1, 1, 4}, {8, 5, 5, 8}}

To add the entries in each row, in Version 4 use the shorthand for Apply at
Level 1

Plus @@@ mat
{18, 11, 26}

In Version 3

Plus @@ # & /@ mat
{18, 11, 26}

To add the entries in each column...

columnsum = Plus @@@ Transpose[mat]
{18, 14, 8, 15}

To add a new row with the sum of the columns...

Join[mat, {columnsum}]
{{5, 8, 2, 3}, {5, 1, 1, 4}, {8, 5, 5, 8}, {18, 14, 8, 15}}

To add an extra column...

Transpose[Join[Transpose[mat], {{1, 1, 1}}]]
{{5, 8, 2, 3, 1}, {5, 1, 1, 4, 1}, {8, 5, 5, 8, 1}}

Also, look at the routines in the following package...

Needs["LinearAlgebra`MatrixManipulation`"]

To add a column we append to each row...

AppendRows[mat, Transpose[{{1, 2, 3}}]]
{{5, 8, 2, 3, 1}, {5, 1, 1, 4, 2}, {8, 5, 5, 8, 3}}

To add a row we append to each column...

AppendColumns[mat, {Plus @@@ Transpose[mat]}]
{{5, 8, 2, 3}, {5, 1, 1, 4}, {8, 5, 5, 8}, {18, 14, 8, 15}}
