The short answer: instead of M-x run-ruby, call it with a prefix arg like so: C-u M-x run-ruby. This will allow you to edit the command line.

The long answer: don't. Instead re-structure your code so that you can test / call all the functionality without relying on parsing the command line arguments. Then do some simple tests from the command line whether your argument parsing works out okay.
