Yes, you can "paint it in" with the mouse. Here's a walk-through how
to do that:

1. Set Live in the Mixer View position.
2. Select the MIDI Clip you want to paint a CC into.
3. Set the lowest pane of windows to be visible.
4. Activate the "Envelopes" display (the little E down left should be 
yellow)
5. From the upper drop-down menu chose "MIDI Ctr".
6. From the second drop-down menu chose the #CC number you have in mind.
7. Either paint it in with the pen tool or double-click it in with the
pointer tool (pointing at the line). Swap between these optional tools
with ctr/cmd.B.

That wasn't hard, eh? ;-)
