You can open the cage by building it somewhere and then connecting it to a lever.

As for what to do, the sky is the limit.  Find out the probability of a goblin surviving a fall from N height, where  N is 1 to 30.   ;D

Not nearly as simple as Levi makes it sound.

There are a few good tips in this thread http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=55907.0

id like to use the colossus for my own benefit and defense, but he cant destroy buildings so its hard to really set him up anywhere

You won't be able to tame a colossus or a troll, and goblins are inherently hostile so your best bet is to kill them, place them on display (a caged colossus is a great way to boost the value of a noble's bedroom, and all dwarves love a Goblin Zoo), or use them to trigger some pressure plate logic.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
