Lights are not realy necssaary for corn snakes, or any coulubrid, but if you must it would be best to turn the lights on at sunrise, and turn them off at sunset. This is especially good for temting them into breeding by simulating the lighting during breeding season in the wild.
It would be best to heat the cage via heat mat. Lights can supposedly dry out the cage, but the one tank I use a light on is fine.

Make sure the heatpad doesn't get too hot...I had one (Exo-Terra 'Heat Wave') that went into the 100s. Right now I'm on a 75W light that's keeping it a comfy 84. Mine is in a 25-gallon, so the lamp's a good foot above the substrate.
I just turn it on in the morning, and off when I go to sleep. When I move him out of my bedroom eventually, I may or may not keep it on all night, depends on how my mother feels about that.
