Use `C-h k' to get the binding string and use that with the `kbd'-macro.

,----[ C-h k <home> ]
| <home> runs the command move-beginning-of-line
[...]
`----

,----[ C-h k <C-home> ]
| <C-home> runs the command beginning-of-buffer
[...]
`----

You see, emacs 22 already has the bindings you want. :-)

Nevertheless, if you would want to rebind them, you would do

  (global-set-key (kbd "<C-home>") 'some-function)

Bye,
