 From the main menu, select Graphics > Drawing Tools to pop up the 2D 
Drawing palette.  By selecting from that palette a tool such as the 
point icon, you may now click inside the 2D graphic and insert a point, 
etc.

To change color, thickness, point size, etc., either use Graphics > 
Graphics Inspector or else click the slider/color swatch icon at the 
bottom of the 2D Drawing palette to open the 2D Graphics Inspector panel.

You may now first select the color/thickness, etc., combination you want 
and then click the graphic element you want to change in the graphic -- 
something you added with one of the tools, or an originally displayed 
graphic element, e.g., the curve from a Plot.  Or, first select the 
graphic element and then choose the color/thickness, etc.

When selecting, say, the curve from a Plot, be sure to click until you 
see the enlarged circles indicating the points used in the plot.
