For the UM2 UM2Go and UM2 Extended, materials are handled on the printer. The idea was that you slice once, and then have the liberty to print it with "any" material just by selecting a material on the printer. Because of this, Cura will not let you select materials, or temperatures.
If you want to use Cura to select materials and temperatures instead of the printer itself, go into Machine Settings (on the Printers tab), and change the gcode flavor to Reprap (Marlin/Sprinter). Then you get a materials dropdown in the sidebar, and you can edit temperatures, etc.
