Yeah, of course. Nowadays a lot of the wires going to houses are underground in cement.
However - you should not bury the wire / cable directly in the cement - over time the chemicals from the cement will attack the cable and destroy the insulation. The cable must be inserted into a protective tube called 'conduit'. Mostly these days plastic conduit is used, but check local building regulations - in some locations and circumstances metal conduit may be required. It is also possible to purchase 'armoured cable' and use this, it is mostly used to bury cables where there is some risk of physical damage such as from someone digging, it is expensive.

Can you run a 240v wire from the electrical panel then put a junction box to run it where you want?
A 240 volt wire is the insulation factor of the wire. If you mean a 240 supply source from a distribution panel to a junction box then the answer is yes. You have to keep in mind that the box has to be accessible, meaning that you can get to the box to check the splice within the box. Don't bury the junction box behind the wall board.
