JW Lua beta 0.13 is now available for download, and the following code 
should insert a MIDI controller event at the start of the first measure 
on the staff with ID 1:

local cell = finale.FCCell(1,1)
local me = finale.FCMidiExpression()
me:ConnectCell(cell)
me:SetUseController()
me.MeasurePos = 0
me.ControllerNumber = 20
me.ControllerValue = 127
me:SaveNew()
