If you have MapInfo 7.0 you can split an object with a polyline (Objects > Polyline split...) If you have an older version of MapInfo you need a polygon - not just a closed polyline (Objects > Split).
In both cases you have to select the linie to split, make sure the layer is editable. Now select Objects > Set Target Select the cutting object and choose one of the menu items mentioned above.
