BibLaTeX manual says:

Where can I find the month field (present in BibLaTeX source) in entry editor? It should be in “Deprecated fields” or am I wrong?

Yes, if there is a `month = {...}` field in the source, it should show up in the entry editor. Could you please check out the development version as I remember that there was a recently fixed bug regarding deprecated fields. If this problem persist in the dev version, please open a new bug report. Thanks.
