No it is not a sign of colon cancer. It is a sign of nerve or muscle problems.
2 :
Could be a lot of things, including a poor diet. See a Dr, who can get a full history and make a proper diagnosis.

Unlikely, unless it is accompanied by a number of other symptoms such as bleeding, weight loss, etc... More likely it is what is known as Proctalgia Fugax. This type of cramp often occurs in the middle of the night and can last a variable amount of time; generally from a few seconds to 30 minutes. Many sufferers encounter it less than 6 times a year. There is no known cause for proctalgia fugax, but it is thought to be related to a muscle spasm of the rectum. There is also no known cure. There are remedies which range from warm baths (if the pain lasts long enough to draw a bath), relaxation techniques, and gentle massage of the anus.
