Creating a rectangle is surely an edit function.

So you have to create a new layer of type polygon, give it a filename, and turn it into edit mode. Then you can draw the rectangle.

If you just want decoration for your print output, you can have rectangles and circles in the print composer.

    The rectangle in the question's picture is a graphic, and not a feature. In ArcMap, features have full editing capabilities, whereas graphics are drawn using tools from the Draw toolbar, and there are relatively few editing capabilities that can be used on them.
