Gii created a CRUD menu called operations. If you go to column2.php you will see this code.
$this->widget('zii.widgets.CMenu', array(
'items'=>$this->menu,
'htmlOptions'=>array('class'=>'operations'),
For some reason I want to edit above menu. I wonder where does $this->menu is filled with values which is defined in components/controller.php. I looked at every controller's code but couldn't find anything.

What exactly you wanna do? If you want to change the way it's behave, you should try the CMenu.php file, located at /yii/framework/zii/widgets/
The menu is filled in view file (create.php, update.php, view.php, etc)
