In 3D Studio, easiest way for a hole going through the cube, is to build a square in the 2D Shaper, put a circle (or whatever shape) inside it, and bring both into the 3D Lofter and extrude (Bevel straight back) to the height (depth) you want. If you want to only go partially through, then you need to manually add or delete faces to cap things off where you want. If you want to deal with more complex objects than your examples, since there is no drill function in 3D Studio v.1.0x, you can either model in AutoCAD 11 (use AME for booleans), or manually edit those faces as above.
