I have connected to my SQL azure server using SQL Server 2012 Management Studio and I cannot edit any of my table's schema or the data in it. When I right click on the table the options are missing. Am I doing something wrong?

Using SQL Server Management Studio In Object Explorer, expand the database that contains the view and then expand Views. Right-click the view and select Edit Top 200 Rows. You may need to modify the SELECT statement in the SQL pane to return the rows to be modified.
Open SQL Server Management Studio. On the Tools menu, click Options. In the navigation pane of the Options window, click Designers. Select or clear the Prevent saving changes that require the table re-creation check box, and then click OK.
To change the schema of a table by using SQL Server Management Studio, in Object Explorer, right-click on the table and then click Design. Press F4 to open the Properties window. In the Schema box, select a new schema. ALTER SCHEMA uses a schema level lock.
Not that I am using SSMS 2012, but in 2008 R2 is generally the same. There is no GUI for neither table designer, nor "Edit top 200 records". You have to begin diving into the DDL and DML for SQL Server and give up GUIs. One way you could use GUI to some extend, especially for DDL is to use the portal provided Windows Azure SQL Database manager. You can find a link to it when you go to your database from either the new or the old portal (Manage). Other way is to use some third party tool, which I am not aware of. Here is the link to that manager from the new portal:

Another option some people may find helpful, if you have and use Visual Studio then you can link to the server in ServerManager, connect to the database, and then design and edit data directly.
