In the keypad (windows>keypad). Select the note you want to put a diddle on. There are 5 tabs at the top of the window (far left is a whole note, far right is a double flat). Click on the 3rd tab and select the diddle you want, or press 1 on your numeric keypad (I'm assuming you want a normal two beat diddle)

You can also select multiple notes and put diddles on all of them, a nice trick for writing a longer roll.
