Are you referring to the line "Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd his canon 'gainst self-slaughter"? "The Everlasting" is a name for God like "The Almighty". A canon is a kind of religious or church law. Suicide was considered a sin by the church (that's why Ophelia is buried with "maimed rites"), and Hamlet is wishing it wasn't. He is not asking God to help him commit suicide but rather wishing it wasn't a sin. It's hard to tell how serious he might be.

What would happen to Hamlet and Claudius if they were to appear in a current court of law?
I guess it depends at what point in the play you wish this trial to happen. Early on, the only evidence against Claudius is the word of a ghost--not good evidence. Later Hamlet gets documentary proof that Claudius is conspiring against his life. Of course by that time, there is incontrovertible proof that Hamlet has murdered Polonius. My guess is that Claudius would be acquitted, but Hamlet would be found guilty.

Hamlet wish to be king after he dies?
No. Hamlet does show some interest in being king before he dies, especially in the line "popped in between the election and my hopes." Nevertheless his main interest is to return to University. "As for your intent to return to Wittenberg, it is most retrograde to our desires." However, Hamlet shows no wish to be king after he dies. This would mean that Denmark was to be ruled by a ghost, and although apparently there is some precedent for ghost-kings showing up in Denmark, a spectral monarch would probably be a fairly ineffective form of government. I mean, the privy council could only meet at midnight . . .
