m1 is not a Matrix.
May be you were looking for
octave:1> m1 = [1 1; 2 4; 4 8; 3 6]
m1 =
1 1
2 4
4 8
3 6
octave:2> m2 = m1.*0.2
m2 =
0.20000 0.20000
0.40000 0.80000
0.80000 1.60000
0.60000 1.20000

{1 1; 2 4; 4 8; 3 6} is not the same as [1 1; 2 4; 4 8; 3 6]. For the difference see the Octave manual "cell array" and "matrix".

A cell and a matrix/array are entirely different things. A cell can hold things other than numbers. A matrix can only hold numbers. A cell can also have different size elements, a matrix must be nD rectangular. Because a cell in not necessarily numbers, there is no clear definition on what standard matrix operators would or should do.
your cell2mat attempt didn't work because you tried to run the function on m2 which didn't exist. when the error occurred, m2 was never created. so cell2mat(m2) threw an expected error. Had you tried
>> cell2mat(m1)
ans =
1 1
2 4
4 8
3 6
ans =
1 1
2 4
4 8
3 6
>> m2 = ans.^2
m2 =
1 1
4 16
16 64
9 36
m2 =
1 1
4 16
16 64
9 36
things would have been fine.
Is there a particular reason you're working with a cell array instead of a numerical array/matrix? If you need to operate on the elements of a cell, there is the 'cellfun' command, but that's only for working on the elements individually.
