It's kinda funny, but I told the nurse at the colonoscopy unit when I was scheduling, that I had issues with bowel control when I take the laxatives for the bowel prep, and she suggested I wear adult diapers to the test if this was a problem. If you are talking about urine incontinence, I would suggest yes, it's OK to wear them to the test. You won't be wearing them into the procedure room for the test, just empty your bladder RIGHT BEFORE the test, and it should be no biggie.

Can I take my bisacodyl tablets at noon the day before my colonoscopy exam?

Yes, it should have done its job by the time the colonoscopy is scheduled for. But please check. Your doctor or whoever is doing the procedure will normally have given you a program to prepare for a colonoscopy. This usually involves a special 'low residue' diet for a few days, ending with clear fluids like jello and consomme the day before the procedure. Included in the preparatory program you should find special laxatives. Don't take the bisacodyl if you have been following such a program, as you will have too much laxative and it can affect the special salts in the body called electrolytes.
