Just draw on the solder mask layer whatever you want. Altium will correctly generate negative gerber images

First select the top solder layer and then use any of the shape options in the place menu. Alternatively, if you need something that isn't a line, rectangle, or arc. You can make the outline of what you want filled using the above tools, select those objects, and got to Tools/Convert/Create Polygon from selected primitives.
