Live Corners and Live Shapes were new features added in CC so aren't available in CS6.

Since this functionality was not made available until later versions of illustrator, your only option is to do it through a plugin:


VectorScribe, from AstuteGraphics has not only live (rounded)
corners, but TONS of functionality to edit paths. It is a must for
all serious AI users.
XtreamPath is also a multi-function plugin that has rounded
corners by dragging.
