Last time this was asked, the answer was that it's still not possible with
LyX. I think it still holds. *Maybe* you can do it using TeX code, but I
don't know how. I know two workaround, though:

Type "^3sqrt(expression)", ie. you use a superscript "3" just before the
square root. It doesn't look perfect, though.

Or use simple mathematical identities: replace the cubic root with
"(expression)^(1/3)" :)
