You could use the term to refer to a situation where someone appears to be surprised, but in fact is not. Think of a person's response to a surprise party in her or his honor, but someone spilled the beans and the person knew about it.
Mock surprise could also be used in a disingenuous sense, with some cynicism or desire to secretly or subtlely show contempt. Someone tells you something that really is obvious, or that is part of your profession/special interest. Perhaps they tell you believing that you do not know it. You might respond with "Oh! Is that what it means? Please tell me more about that." Others listening might pick up that you are engaging in mockery.
