You can probably accomplish this with org-after-todo-state-change-hook:

Write a function that checks if org-state is "CANCELED", and if so looks
for active timestamps and calls org-toggle-timestamp-type on them.

Then add the function to the hook.

And don't forget to post the code here as well as on Worg :-)
