What version of nano are you using?  Since nano-2.8.1 Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End
should already do what you want them to do.  If that is not the case, what
terminal/emulator are you using?  It ought to work fine at least on xterm,
on all VTE-based emulators (like Gnome Terminal and Xfce Terminal), and on
the Linux console.  It does not work on the BSD consoles.

To answer your question: nano does not provide a mechanism to rebind any
of the dedicated cursor-movement keys (with or without Shift/Ctrl/Alt).
There are no plans to make this possible.
