The word CAKE here implies the oppurtunity....so it basically means that one wants an oppurtunity and make full utilization of a particular situation. This phrase is mainly used in a negative sense.

In this saying, "have" means "keep." He wants to keep the cake, yet he want's to eat it too. It describes someone who wants to have it both ways.

as far as I know, the verbs 'have' and 'eat' have one meaning in this context - EAT. So the saying pretty much means: 'he wants to eat it twice', meaning 'cannot get satisfied' as the previous answer put it
