I believe you are asking about the word 'can'? Yes, it has a short 'a' sound, so is just pronounced 'can'. The general rule on short words that follow the pattern CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) is that the vowel will usually be short. For example, words such as 'pan, hat, bag, bug, win, hum, sit, wet, pen, dot, hot, tub, map, mud', etc, all have short vowel sounds.
