I only vaguely remember the details of the project from your deleted post, but if I were to guess what a reasonable assignment would be, it would be to select a cancer gene, then extract 1 Mb of sequence around the gene from ten different individual genomes, then analyze those 1 Mb regions for the various things asked for in the post.
You aren't going to find 1 Mb fastq reads, but you can find different individual genomes, or even different "cancer" genomes. You can definitely identify genes related to cancer. As others have said, I'd check back with the assigner of this project for clarification.
edit: I teach an upper level course in genomic methods and analysis, so am definitely curious what this assignment is about!
