You want to draw your primary copper pour on the top (or bottom) layer, and the circular cutout on the appropriate Restrict layer: tRestict (top) or bRestrict (bottom).
The copper polygon will not extend onto the restrict-layer feature.
Make sure the copper pour is a polygon, not just a "rectangle"! The primitive rectangle and circle features are simply static shapes which do not automatically adjust to the design constraints.
Confusingly, there is also a vRestrict layer, which actually forbids vias, not copper features.
