It means you're in a WHOLE lot of trouble! You've done something so bad, there is no way you will ever get out of it without punishment.
Here's the origin of the phrase:
Inhabitants of a besieged town in the sixteenth century hung out a goose to show their attackers they were not starving and so enraged them that they set fire to the town and thus cooked the goose.

Yes, it means that things have turned out badly for someone, usually by their own doing. I once heard that the expression originates from many years ago when people used to use birds like geese to clean thier chimneys. The bird would be dropped down the stack and would naturally flap it's wings to fly out, thus cleaning the soot away in the process.The problem started if the bird got stuck there and the fire was lit by the person who dropped it down there - he cooked his goose!

You're caught or you have been found out by people that you have done something wrong. "goose cooked" means you're "done" or it's over- you will face consequences for your actions.
