A public adjuster represents the rights of a policy-holder during insurance claim process. They are involved in appraisal of the damage and preparation of necessary documentations. They also negotiate with the insurer. Most public adjusters claim a fee for representing the claimant.

Can a public adjuster be canceled by the homeowner?

A Public Adjuster is a person you hired. I don't think you can cancel a person. But, if you have hired a public adjuster, I suppose you can contact the adjuster and notify them that you have changed your mind about your needs. You can pay him or her off for any work already done and release them from further service. It would not be appropriate to withhold payment for the work the adjuster has already done. This could subject you to a civil suit.
