I have a terrain created by irrEdit, I want to apply new texture on some polygons of this terrain. It similars with creating zone function in SimCity, when you drag your mouse, texture or color of squares changes. How can I do that?

You can't apply textures per vertex or polygons in a terrain.

Use shaders instead to achieve something similar. Check the shaders example.

You can also create some overlay which is based on the underlying vertex structure. Or use decals to add a second texture on top of another mesh.
